The artwork titled “Innocence,” created by Wifredo Lam in 1974, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized under the genre of symbolic painting.
The artwork showcases an ethereal and dreamlike composition, characteristic of Surrealism, depicting abstract and symbolic forms. Various linear and geometric shapes converge to create what appears to be otherworldly figures with exaggerated features. These figures are rendered in muted tones with subtle hints of red, injecting a dynamic contrast against the soft background. Sparse yet intricate, the use of black outlines emphasizes the expressionistic and symbolic essence of the piece. The composition elicits a sense of intrigue and curiosity, encouraging viewers to delve deeper into its symbolic interpretations.
