Signed on the bottom right. - Published by Societè Internationale d'Art WWe Siecie, Paris. - From portfolio: Contre une maison sèche, 1977 - Size: 33x39 cm. (plate), 50x66 cm. (sheet) // Contre une maison sèche (dark) by Wifredo Lam, created in 1977, is an etching and aquatint that exemplifies the artist’s signature surrealist style. The composition is populated with elongated, abstract forms that evoke a sense of movement and tension, perhaps symbolizing mystical creatures or spirits. The monochromatic tones and sharp, angular lines create an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere, aligning with Lam's exploration of Afro-Cuban mythology and themes of transformation. This piece reflects Lam’s fusion of surrealism with cultural symbolism, inviting viewers into a dreamlike realm populated by enigmatic figures and shadowy shapes.

What is Cubism?
Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
