Rufino Tamayo
Mexican artist and sculptor Rufino Tamayo stands outside the museum dedicated to his work, located in Mexico City. An early post at the National Archaeology Museum in Mexico City brought him in contact with the pre-Columbian objects that would later influence his art. His work, colorful and often abstract, also shows the influence of European cubism. A prominent public figure, Tamayo worked in government and teaching positions throughout his career.
