Rufino Tamayo's bold, symbolic paintings and prints unite elements of European modernism, Mexican folk art, and pre-Columbian ceramics. Tamayo filled his paintings and prints with emotive color palettes and blocky, pared-down compositions—riffs on both indigenous motifs and the Cubist figurations of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. During his lifetime, Tamayo exhibited widely in Mexico City, New York, and Paris, among other cities. His works regularly sell for seven figures on the secondary market and belong in the collections of the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
This lithograph has been newly framed in black lacquered wood with subtle red undertones that complement the work beautifully. The same lithograph sold at Christies for $10,000 on September 17, 2020.
