Race, Anthropology, and Politics in the Work of Wifredo Lam
Author: Claude Cernuschi

ISBN-13: 1351187856
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book reinterprets Wifredo Lam’s work with particular attention to its political implications, focusing on how these implications emerge from the artist’s critical engagement with 20th-century anthropology. Field work conducted in Cuba, including the witnessing of actual Afro-Cuban religious ritual ceremonies and information collected from informants, enhances the interpretive background against which we can construe the meanings of Lam's art. In the process, Claude Cernuschi argues that Lam hoped to fashion a new hybrid style to foster pride and dignity in the Afro-Cuban community, as well as counteract the acute racism of Cuban culture.

History of the Surrealist Movement
Author: Gérard Durozoi

ISBN-13: 9780226174112
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Tracing the movement from its origins in the 1920s to its decline in the 1950s and 1960s, Durozoi tells the history of Surrealism through its activities, publications, and reviews, demonstrating its close ties to some of the most explosive political, as well as creative, debates of the twentieth century. Unlike other histories, which focus mainly on the pre-World War II years of the movement in Paris, Durozoi covers both a wider chronological and geographic range, treating in detail the postwar years and Surrealism's colonization of Latin America, the United States, Japan, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Italy, and North Africa. Drawing on documentary and visual evidence--including 1,000 photos, many of them in color--he illuminates all the intellectual and artistic aspects of the movement, from literature and philosophy to painting, photography, and film. All the Surrealist stars and their most important works are here--Aragon, Borges, Breton, Buñuel, Cocteau, Crevel, Dalí, Desnos, Ernst, Man Ray, Soupault, and many more--for all of whom Durozoi has provided brief biographical notes in addition to featuring them in the main text.
Wifredo Lam: 1923-1960

ISBN-13: 9782940033195
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book, the first volume of the catalogue raisonne of the painted works, covers the years 1923-1960 and is organized in four parts: analytical, historical, descriptive and technical. Born in the very beginning of this century, Wifredo Lam spanned an exceptionally rich and intense period of history, surviving the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and World War II. Time spent in Paris and the United States brought him into contact with the genius of Picasso, and so opened the doors to the influences of leading writers, artists and poets of the time. The innovations of Lam's imagery and design, the slow maturation of his unique style, and the peculiarity of its themes have been long recognized by private collectors for their artistic value, and are now finally being recognized on the part of the institutions.
