"He had brought back something else very special from Paris. I saw him unwrapping eight African sculptures with great care. They had traveled safely and were to become the nucleus of his future important collection of tribal art." Helena Benitez, quoted in Wifredo and Helena, My Life with Wifredo Lam: 1939-1950, Acatos, Lausanne, 1999, p. 166
