Very good condition; frame does not accompany the lot. Comment(s): Born in Oaxaca, Mexico, he was an incredibly prolific artist, working until his death at the age of 91. Half-European and half-Zapotec Indian, Tamayo produced work that was defined by his mestizo, or mixed-blood, heritage. Through his studies he was exposed to every artistic school of his time including Fauvism, the classical French school, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, all of which contributed to his style as it developed throughout his life. His work is firmly grounded in realism while taking creative liberties in color and composition. His art emulates a unique blend of Cubism and Surrealism, joined with a deep understanding of Mexican culture. Image © Tamayo Heirs/Mexico/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY. [29923-10-24000]
