Description

Wifredo Lam, Hardcover by Leenhardt, Jacques, ISBN 050003060X, ISBN-13 9780500030608, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This beautifully illustrated book, the first monograph on Wifredo Lam since 1989, provides a comprehensive retrospective of the iconic Cuban artist’s life and work. With the quasquicentennial of his birth approaching, recent research and cataloging have deepened our understanding of Wifredo Lam (1902–1982) and his multifaceted contributions to 20th century art and politics. Following a long journey that began in Spain, where Lam studied the great European painters—Bosch, Du¨rer, Velázquez and Goya—this book traces defining moments in his artistic evolution. Encounters with Picasso and Breton in Paris shaped his distinctive style, which existed at the heart of modernity, distinguished also by the influences of surrealism, Matisse, and African art. Born in 1902 to a Chinese father and an African mother, Lam’s work draws from both European and Afro-Caribbean visual culture in a unique synthesis of his multicultural heritage and formulative studies. Forced to flee Paris in 1940 by the Nazi occupation, Lam took refuge in Marseilles before returning to Cuba, where his visual language evolved into a powerful tool for confronting the social and political injustices of the newly globalized world. Through thoughtful interpretation of Lam’s body of work, author Jacques Leenhardt sheds light on the originality of his language, both symbolic and pictorial, and the evolution of visual art in the 20th century.

  1. Book was in excellent new condition as described. Book arrived in great shape. Excellent overall cost. There was a shipping problem however, there were 3 books labeled as shipping together, but 2 separate packages were used and both had same tracking number so first package triggered delivered status on all 3 books even though only 2 arrived, the second package with book 3 came next day. So if you dont get one of your books when it says delivered you might wait a couple days for the 2nd package.

  2. On the hunt for this particular cover art, the seller was very helpful with guidance on how to confirm through an ISBN search with the publisher. That solidified my choice to purchase from this seller. The book was packaged well for shipping and protection during travels. I'm extremely pleased with the pricing coupled with the mint condition of the book and the fast shipping (considering the hinderances caused by the current winter conditions). Great transaction and I will shop with them again!

  3. As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!
