Mujer sentada 1955

"Mujer sentada" (seated woman) is a 1955 work by the Cuban artist Wifredo Lam. This drawing, rendered in black and white with accents of pale blue, depicts a woman in a seated position. The artist’s stylized use of line and form evokes a sense of surrealism and abstraction, characteristic of Lam's artistic practice. The depiction of the woman is fragmented and the composition evokes the influence of African and Caribbean art, which played a significant role in Lam's artistic development. This work exemplifies Lam's unique blend of Cubism, Surrealism, and traditional African art, capturing the complex cultural and artistic heritage of Cuba and the wider Caribbean.
