“Thanks to Lam, the preposterous, rugged and
uninspired forms that blocked the road are blown
up by the great suns of dynamite. Thanks to Lam,
the primal spirit - and by that, I mean the
sentiment, the dream, the heredity - is projected
and illuminated... Nourished with sea salt, sun,
rain, marvelous and sinister moons, Wifredo Lam
is the one who calls the modern world back to
the original terror and fervor.”
