"Wifredo Lam: Pasión y Magia sobre Papel" (Wifredo Lam: Passion and Magic on Paper) is an exhibition catalog published by the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago de Chile for an exhibition held from April to May 1995. Designed by Rolando Ramírez O. with catalog coordination and text editing by Lic. Rodolfo L. Gil B. and Ramón Castillo, the catalog features a cover reproduction of a Lam painting showing his characteristic hybrid figure rendered in muted blues, grays, and oranges with touches of white—a vertical composition depicting an elongated form combining human, animal, and spiritual elements typical of Lam's Afro-Cuban iconography. The cover is framed by a warm tan border, with the exhibition title appearing in white outlined letters at the bottom, creating a refined presentation appropriate for this international showing.
The exhibition was sponsored by Banco Concepción, El Mercurio, Ladeco, and alfin, with collaboration from the Consulate General of the Republic of Cuba in Chile and Euroamérica Seguros. The catalog notes that the exhibition presented 1,000 examples of Lam's work created between 1922, 1944, and 1974, condensing on the page in 70 grams/square meter his concerns about an overall 76% [the text seems partially cut off]. Published at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes at Parque Forestal s/n in Santiago, this catalog represents continued international recognition of Lam's importance in the mid-1990s, demonstrating ongoing cultural exchange between Chile and Cuba despite geopolitical tensions of the era.
