A sweeping retrospective of the innovative and influential Cuban-born artist, bringing new perspectives to his globe-spanning life and lyrical art
 
Over a career spanning six decades, Wifredo Lam radically expanded the purview of modernism. Born in Cuba, he spent most of his life in Spain, France, and Italy, and came to embody the figure of the transnational artist in the twentieth century, forging a unique visual style at the confluence of European modernity and Caribbean and African diasporic cultures.
 
Published in conjunction with the most extensive retrospective ever devoted to the artist in the United States, Wifredo Lam: When I Don’t Sleep, I Dream brings together works from throughout his  prolific career?Dincluding paintings, large-scale works on paper, collaborative drawings, illustrated  books, prints, ceramics, and archival material. This landmark publication features fresh insights into Lam’s relationship to Surrealism, Négritude, and other literary, cultural, and poetic movements; extensive new photography of Lam’s art; and the first in-depth conservation analysis of his best-known painting, La jungla (The Jungle, 1942-43). 266 pages, 225 illustrations.
