Abstract

The article focuses on the unresolved question of Wifredo Lam's relationship with surrealism, examining the impact of his interactions with surrealists during his time in Marseille. Topics include the transformative effect of surrealism on Lam's artistic style, the influence of Caribbean landscapes and cultures on his work, and the symbolic significance of vegetation in his paintings as a representation of primordial wilderness and colonial exploitation.
