Rufino Tamayo (New York/Mexico, 1899 - 1991) unframed mixed media depicting a semi-abstract geometric figure of a man lined in red on a black background. Tamayo created a series of "Cabeza" pieces primarily throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This piece comes without paperwork of authentication, but signature and style are consistent with those of the artist's known works. In overall good condition. Measures approximately 20" in height by 16" in width and is signed "R Tamayo 0.81" to the upper right hand corner. Provenance: from the estate of a prominent Texas collector, known to not only to have collected quite an assortment of notable art, but to have befriended a vast majority of the artists of whose work was acquired. Rufino Tamayo was a Mexican painter of Zapotec heritage, born in Oaxaca de Juarez, Mexico. Following the death of his parents, he moved to Mexico City and enrolled in the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas at San Carlos to study art in 1917 where he was influenced by Cubism, Impressionism and Fauvism. The Rufino Tamayo Museum of International Contemporary Art opened in Mexico in 1981, and it displays many of the artist's works, as well as paintings, sculpture and drawings from his private collection. Rufino Tamayo died in 1991 at the age of 92 in Mexico City.
