Wifredo Lam  (Sagua la Grande, 1902 – Paris, 1982), Together with René Portocarrero, Lam is not only the major artist in Cuba, but also the first artist of color of art historiography. He was a member of the movement “ Niggerism ". Lam’s style is the result of his habitual travels: primitive graffiti with clear Cubist influences in a Surrealist mood. By now artist of international fame, Lam tried to combine Paris, the city of his adoption, with Cuba, his native country, where he followed political happenings closely, and with Albissola Marina in Italy, a town chosen with his family as a peaceful place. Today, some of the artist’s works belong to the Tate Gallery 's collections in London, some to the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, some to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and some to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
