About Artist:
Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) was a Mexican artist and printmaker of Zapotecan Indian descent, combined European painting styles and Mexican folk motifs in his paintings and prints. Tamayo was known for his large-scale murals and vivid use of color.
Tamayo, admired the works of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Henri Matisse, developed a strong interest in pre-Columbian art while working at the National Museum of Archaeology in Mexico City.
The artworks of Rufino Tamayo are concerned with form and symbolism, and combining Mexican styles with Cubism and Surrealism.
He was also active in the development of Mixografia, a printmaking technique used to create deep textured effects.
He founded the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City and the Museo Rufino Tamayo in his birthplace of Oaxaca during the early 1980s.
Artworks by Rufino Tamayo are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others.
