Wifredo Óscar de la Concepción Lam (Wifredo Lam, 1902-1982) was a Cuban artist who sought to portray and revive the enduring spirit and Afro-Cuban culture. Inspired by some of the most renowned artists of the twentieth century, with whom he also had contact, Lam fused his influences and created a unique style characterized by the prominence of hybrid figures. Lam was born and raised in Sagua La Grande, a town in the sugar province of Villa Clara, Cuba. He was of mestizo descent: his father, Yam Lam, was a Chinese immigrant, and his mother, Ana Serafina Castilla, was born of a Congolese slave and a Cuban mulatto father. In Sagua La Grande, Lam was surrounded by many people of African descent; his family, like many others, practiced Catholicism along with their African traditions. His contact with African celebrations and spiritual practices proved to be his greatest artistic influence. In 1938, he moved to Paris, where Picasso quickly became a great defender of his work, introducing him to many of the leading artists of the time, such as Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, and Joan Miró. Picasso also introduced him to Pierre Loeb, a Parisian art dealer who gave Lam his first exhibition at the Galerie Pierre Loeb in 1939, which received an enthusiastic response from critics. Picasso and Lam exhibited their work together in the Perls Galleries in New York in the same year. Lam's work evolved from showing the influence of Matisse in his still lifes, landscapes, and simplified portraits to displaying the influence of Cubism. In 2015, a retrospective of Lam's works was exhibited at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris; this exhibition later traveled to the Reina Sofía Museum in Spain and the Tate Museum in London. Lam died in Paris on September 11, 1982, and is buried in his hometown.
