Practice your advanced Spanish listening skills while learning about Wifredo Lam, the renowned 20th-century Cuban painter. 
 
Lam's work combines cubism, surrealism and Afro-Caribbean art, influenced by his heritage and many years spent in Europe, particularly Spain and France. 
 
In this biography in Spanish, I speak Spanish about: 

• The divers influences that shaped his art 
• His involvement in the Spanish Civil War 
• His friendships with Picasso and other legendary artists 
• The role of Santería, an Afro-Caribbean religion, in his paintings
