Wifredo Lam is don't only Cuba's greatest artist, bust also the first black artist in historiography. He was a member of the "Negro" movement. Lam's style is the result of his usual travels: primitive graffiti with clear cubist influences in a surrealsit atmosphere.
By now an internationally renowed artist, Lam tried to combine Paris with Cuba, his country of origin, where he closely followed political events.
Today some of the artist's works belong to the collections of the Tate Gallery in London, others to the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, still others to the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
The Lithograph :
Artistic printing is a technique with which artworks could be multiplied through the use of engraved matrices and could become very popular. There is a large variety of engraving techniques defined by the matrix material. Today the engraving techniques have not changed at all once their strict function of "image multipliers" has slowly disappeared because of the advent of photography.
XXe Siécle :
A wonderful French art magazine, the XXe siècle was founded by Gualtieri di San Lazzaro , pseudonym of Giuseppe Antonio Leandro Papa (1904-1974), writer and Italian art editor.

Wifredo Lam
Wifredo Lam is not only a major artist in Cuba but also the first artist of color in art historiography. He was a member of the movement Niggerism. Lam’s style is the result of his habitual travels, primitive graffiti with clear Cubist influences in a Surrealist mood. By then an artist of international fame, Lam tried to combine Paris, the city of his adoption, with Cuba, his native country and with Albissola Marina in Italy, a town chosen by his family as a peaceful place. Today, some of the artist’s works belong to the Tate gallery's collections in London, some to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, some to the Museum of Modern Art in New York and some to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
