SUMMARY:Rufino Tamayo and the Mixografía® Years (1974-1990)A Cross Border Journey
LOCATION:Meridian International Center\n1624 Crescent Place\, NWWhite-Meyer House\, Cafritz Galleries\nWashington\, District Of Columbia 20009
DESCRIPTION:Meridian International Center\, together with the Mixografía® workshop and Landau Traveling Exhibitions in Los Angeles\, will display a stunning exhibition of 40 signed prints by renowned Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991).\n\nOrphaned at a young age\, Tamayo relocated to Mexico City in the early twentieth century and attended the National Academy of Fine Arts. By 1926 he was presenting solo exhibitions in Mexico City and New York and increasingly gained acclaim for his work. In a successful and peripatetic career\, this renowned artist lived in the United States and France for many years before returning to Oaxaca\, Mexico. There\, he founded a museum and continued to produce innovative artworks with distinctly Mexican qualities.\n\nIn the early 1970s\, Tamayo was invited by Luis and Lea Remba to collaborate as a printmaker at their workshop in Mexico City. He expressed interest\, but was eager to identify new approaches to the print medium – especially techniques that would yield works with increased volume and texture. This challenge resulted in Luis Remba inventing a unique printing technique later known as “Mixografía”.\n\nRufino Tamayo was the first artist to work with this printing process and created 67 editions over a seventeen year period prior to his death. These workshop editions represent one-fifth of his total printmaking output during his lifetime and are a fascinating excursus into the extraordinary plasticity of paper. Since Tamayo’s work with the Remba family\, “Mixografía” has influenced artists in the United States and elsewhere and the workshop\, later transferred from Mexico City to Los Angeles\, continues to attract those who wish to expand the limits of this two-dimensional medium.\n\nArtworks included in Rufino Tamayo and the Mixografía® Years represent a cross-section of the exciting collaboration between a renowned artist and master printmakers. It serves as an excellent example of cross-border relations and the ways in which cultural endeavors between the United States and Mexico have grown and flourished.\n\nLuna y Sol\, 1990\n\n(Moon and Sun)\n\nMixografía® print on handmade paper\n\nEdition of 100 [HC 1/30]\n\nThe exhibition was organized by Mixografía® \, Los Angeles\, CA in association with Landau Traveling Exhibitions\, Los Angeles\, CA.
