Description
A modern aquatint etching print on Arches paper titled "Cabeza en Amarillo (Head in Yellow)" by Rufino Tamayo. Hand signed in pencil on the lower right with an annotation of 61/75 on the lower left. Published in 1976. The composition distills the human face into bold, geometric planes, merging pre-Columbian influence with modern abstraction. The textured surface brings sculptural depth to the flat plane, emphasizing the earthy green form against a soft, luminous background. The stylized head is framed by a golden yellow arc, suggesting both a halo and ceremonial adornment, while the mask-like facial features evoke timeless archetypes. It exemplifies Tamayo's mastery in blending cultural heritage with 20th-century modernism, offering a striking and contemplative portrait that is at once ancient and contemporary. From a private collection. Dimensions: 31"h x 24.25"w x 1"d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) was a celebrated Mexican painter and printmaker whose fusion of modern European styles with indigenous Mexican themes earned him international acclaim. Renowned for pioneering the Mixografia printmaking technique, Tamayo's work is represented in major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museo Tamayo (Mexico City), and the Centre Pompidou (Paris). He exhibited extensively at prestigious institutions such as the Venice Biennale and received numerous honors, including the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts from Spain and the Belisario Dominguez Medal of Honor from the Mexican Senate. Tamayo is recognized as one of the most important Latin American artists of the 20th century.
