RUFINO TAMAYO Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) was a Zapotecan Indian born in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. He moved to México City where he attended the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas "San Carlos." Tamayo was exposed to the cultural wealth of pre-Colombian México as he worked as a draftsman at the Museo Nacional de Arqueologia. While his contemporaries Siqueiros, Rivera and Orozco were advocating art with a message, often political, Tamayo's work focused on plastic forms integrated with a masterful use of colors and textures. Tamayo participated in the development of "Mixografia®," a graphic technique to obtain colored and textured three-dimensional print on handmade paper. He is one of the best known Latin American artists. His exhibitions have been in major museums such as the Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes, México, The Philips Collection in Washington, The Guggenheim Museum in New York, The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid as well as important art galleries throughout the world.     Hombre, 1964   Wild Dog, 1972   Moon Dog, 1972   Two Melons, 1972-SOLD   Dos Cabezas, 1970   Cara en Rojo, 1979   Capitulo XVIII, 1959   Capitulo XXI, 1959   Man, 1972
