Works by Cuban Painter Wifredo Lam on Display in Brazil

HAVANA, Cuba, Jul 6 (acn) "The spirit of creation" is the name of the largest retrospective exhibition of works by Cuban painter Wifredo Lam ever presented in Brazil, now at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum.

The exhibition's curator, Roberto Cobas, said that it includes works by Lam from 1938-1976, and that they will be shown at the Niemeyer Museum until September 13, when it will travel to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia, the Cubasi Web site reported on Monday.
"We put great emphasis on his relationship with Picasso and André Breton in his Parisian period, until his return to Havana, going through the conceptual change his art suffered in passing through Haiti," commented Cobas.
And added the specialist: we also have the privilege of being able to exhibit the avant-garde work of Wifredo Lam nothing less than at he Oscar Niemeyer Museum, the largest in South America and the scene of exhibitions of some of the best artists from Brazil and the world.
