"With regard to life, modern painting is a revolutionary activity…We need it in order to transform the world into a more humane place where mankind can live in liberty…We must accept these things with passion. It means that we must live imaginatively."
- Wifredo Lam
A major early 20th-century painter of Afro-Cuban heritage, Wifredo Lam created his own style by fusing Surrealism and Cubism with the spirit and forms of the Caribbean. Learn about Wifredo Lam’s inspiration and paint your own symbolic self-portraits, integrating Lam’s style and symbols with your own life and heritage.
