Rufino Tamayo, “Mujer con Sandia”, 1950, Color Lithograph, Private Collection
Rufino Tamayo was an artist of Zapotec descent living in Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century. Though he fraternized with Diego Rivera and the famous Mexican muralists, their styles were too large and political for his tastes—he preferred more intimate art.
In the 1920s, Tamayo moved to New York City, where he was deeply influenced by modern art movements, especially the work of Henri Matisse, whom he met at a party.. He also taught Helen Frankenthaler while she attended The Dalton School.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
