Rare Original Mixografia after Rufino Tamayo - Original Mixografia Print after Rufino Tamayo (Mexico, 1991) | Created on handmade paper | Beautifully matted and framed under glass | Approx. Dimensions: 28.25” W x 36.5” H | This series of mixographs are unprecedented in size, quality, and depth and have rarely been offered in this size at auction. Tamayo’s works frequently headline major Latin American Art auctions. This extensive collection of mixographs serves almost as a retrospective of his artistic career, spanning nearly 40 years of work and demonstrating his skillful abstraction of the form through various graphic mediums. Rufino Tamayo’s legacy in the history of art lies in his oeuvre of original graphic prints in which he cultivated every technique. Rufino Tamayo’s graphic work, produced between 1925 and 1991, includes woodcuts, lithographs, etchings and “Mixografia” prints. With the help of Mexican painter and engineer Luis Remba, Tamayo expanded the technical and aesthetic possibilities of the graphic arts by developing a new medium which they named Mixografia. This technique is a unique fine art printing process that allows for the production of prints with three-dimensional texture. It not only registered the texture and volume of Rufino Tamayo’s design but also granted the artist freedom to use any combination of solid materials in its creation.
