But the road was not always easy or straightforward. His arrival in Paris effectively precipitated the first crisis of modernism by introducing the \"primitive\" into \"primitivism.\"\u003cbr\u003eHe confronted European modernists with a real human entity both conversant in his traditional culture and trained in modernist conventions. As an African, Chinese Cuban, however, he was quickly subsumed under those same romantic characterizations of the \"primitive,\" marginalized to an extent as an \"authentic\" specimen.\u003cbr\u003eDescriptions of his work are inevitably modified with signifiers such as \"magician,\" \"master of the fantastic,\" \"avatar of the jungle,\" and \"shaman.\" His situation as both insider and outsider is clearly illustrated in the diagram of the modern art \"tree\" published by painter Ad Reinhardt in P.M. magazine in 1946. Reinhardt grouped artists of different modernist tendencies on branches off the trunk of modern art.\u003cbr\u003eLam's name can be found near the names of artists whose work manifests a magical, surreal quality—Yves Tanguy, Pavel Tchelitchew, Kurt Seligmann, and Louis O. Guglielmi, who appear as leaves bunched together on the branch. But, tellingly, Lam is literally a leaf out on the same branch by himself.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 52px; margin-right: 52px; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 52px; margin-right: 52px; text-align: justify;\"\u003eFor more info call us at (323) 792-3779, or to see a greater selection of the gallery work, please visit our Artnet site at:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 52px; margin-right: 52px; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/galleries\/mla-gallery\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.artnet.com\/galleries\/mla-gallery\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MLA Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53068204966186,"sku":"13990","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0087\/6192\/files\/24ff2c3c-a5dd-43e9-a8f5-91d142d4a141-1_all_5689.jpg?v=1792626157","url":"https:\/\/mlagallery.com\/products\/wifredo-lam-barcelona","provider":"MLA Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
