    Highly recommend Negritude (https://www.reddit.com/r/modernart/comments/ofgyit/wifredo_lam_the_jungle_cubism_surrealism/) and Catalan Modernisme (https://www.reddit.com/r/modernart/comments/pmtn0z/palau_de_la_m%C3%BAsica_catalana_architecturecatalan/) as well. The Cubist Negritude works like Lam's are super interesting because Cubism is based on extracting African art from the colonies. That's a direct reclamation of the movement for liberation instead of extraction.

      Wow I've never seen "The Jungle." It's beautiful. It's like cubism + Rousseau.
