Rufino Tamayo. Recent paintings

Article number 10159714

Exhibition catalogue published in connection with Rufino Tamayo. Recent Paintings at Marlborough Gallery in New York, held from November 5 to December 2, 1984. The publication presents recent paintings by the celebrated Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo, one of the major figures of twentieth-century Mexican modernism. Tamayo developed a distinctive visual language combining modern European artistic developments with references to Mexican culture and pre-Columbian art, while remaining independent from the strongly political narrative tradition associated with the Mexican muralists. His paintings are characterized by powerful colour, simplified and often monumental figures, textured surfaces and an expressive balance between figuration and abstraction. Richly illustrated with reproductions of works from the exhibition, this 38-page catalogue documents an important period in Tamayo's later career and is a useful reference for collectors and researchers of Mexican modernism, Latin American art and twentieth-century painting.
