About The Artist
Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) was a renowned Mexican painter and printmaker, born in Oaxaca. A prominent figure in 20th-century Mexican art, Tamayo's career spanned over seven decades, blending indigenous themes with modernist aesthetics. Initially associated with the Mexican muralism movement, he later distanced himself to develop a more personal style. Tamayo's work, such as "Tres Personajes" (1970), exemplifies his use of bold colors and abstract forms to convey universal human experiences. His departure from explicit political themes allowed him to explore the emotional and symbolic dimensions of art. Tamayo's significant contributions to Mexican and international art earned him acclaim, solidifying his place as a master of modern abstraction with a cultural resonance.
