Rethinking the mother and child trope | Wifredo Lam
What compels you to pause in front of a work of art? Wifredo Lam’s “Mother and Child” stopped this artist and educator, intrigued at first by the lack of figurative features. Coming from a Mexican-American Catholic background, José Camacho found that the ambiguity offered an opening for others to insert themselves into the artwork.
“That’s what I like to explore in my art… shifting perspective so that those who don’t have power in our world are the ones that are seen as powerful.”
