Wilfredo Lam in Miami - Miami Events - Miami Art Museum

The first large-scale solo exhibition of the work of Wifredo Lam ever to be presented in a Miami museum! This Miami event will be opening on February 8th and will run until March 18th, 2008 at the Miami Art Museum. Seriously, you should got to this exhibition because you will be supporting the museum, which it is already a good reason, while enjoying the art work of a great twentieth century’s artist. For those who do not know, Wilfredo Lam is the most celebrated Cuban artist of the 20th century.  Just a little about his history… Lam traveled to Spain in the 1920s and later moved to France, where he became closely acquainted with Pablo Picasso and the leading figures of the Surrealist movement. Then in 1941, Lam went back to Cuba, where he rediscovered the Afro-Caribbean myths, art forms and religious practices that had influenced his work. Lam mixed mainstream European Modernism with these non-Western traditions and used the unique visual language that resulted to raise questions of social injustice and redemption.  Do not miss this event in Miami!
