On the north coast of Cuba, the blue of the Atlantic Ocean meets the green of sugar cane. It is in these landscapes that Wilfredo Lam was born, the very year when the island gained its independence. Witness to the upheavals in Cuba’s history, he will create an innovative pictorial style, a mixture of surrealism and magical realism.

His painting, The Jungle, is considered the first pictorial manifesto of the Third World.
