Wifredo LamCuban, 1902–1982May one see it?
Cleveland, United States
It belongs to the collection, but is not on display at present.
This untitled drawing by Cuban-African artist Wifredo Lam was created after the artist returned to his native country following time spent working in Europe. Back in Havana, Lam explored the religions practiced there, especially Santería and Voudou. The emphasis of both on the supernatural inspired a series of imaginative compositions, including the one seen here, which features winged creatures marked with areas of bright color.
