Description:
A striking original lithograph in colors on Arches paper by the acclaimed Cuban modernist master, Wifredo Lam. Titled El ultimo viaje del buque fantasma - 6 (The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship - 6), this work is plate 6 from a highly sought-after suite of 12 illustrations created to accompany the text of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez.
The image showcases Lam's distinctive fusion of Cubism, Surrealism, and Afro-Cuban symbolism, featuring a hybrid, mask-like figure. This piece is part of a limited edition run, typically 99 copies, and is hand-signed and numbered in pencil by the artist.
