He studied at theAcademia de Bellas Artes in Mexico City and worked there until 1936 when hemoved to New York, where he taught at the Dalton School and the BrooklynMuseum. He moved to Paris in 1954 and then back to his homeland ten yearslater. His style, while showing expressionist and semiabstract elements, isstrongly indebted to native, ancient art forms.Tamayo says, with conviction, that the spirit and soul arestill valid beneath our mechanized, over-hyped societal structure. In 1972 astreet in Oaxaca was named after Tamayo, and in 1974 he donated a museum tothat city for the permanent exhibit of his own extensive collection ofpre-Columbian art. Tamayo has been honored with many prestigious awards. His workis frequently exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world and isincluded in many important private and public collections.After the Mexican Revolution, Tamayo devoted himself tocreating an identity in his work, and with his paintings, Tamayo expressed whathe believed was the traditional Mexico, refusing to follow the more politicaltrend that many of his contemporaries did, such as José Clemente Orozco, DiegoRivera, Oswaldo Guayasamin, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Due to this choice, hewas seen by some as a "traitor" to the political cause, and he felthe could not freely express his art, so in 1926, he decided to leave Mexico andmove to New York. Prior to leaving, he organized a one-man show of his work inMexico City, where he was noticed for his individuality. Tamayo returned toMexico in 1929 to have another solo show, this time being met with high praiseand media coverage.Tamayo and Luis Remba were the first artists who created anew type of printed artwork called "mixografía". Mixografía consistedof artwork printed on paper, but with depth and texture. One of their mostfamous mixografía was titled Dos Personajes Atacados por Perros ("TwoCharacters Attacked by Dogs").Tamayo also painted murals, some of which are displayed insidePalacio Nacional de Bellas Artes opera house in Mexico City, such as Nacimientode la nacionalidad ("Birth of the Nationality"), (1952).Rufino Tamayo started in his early days as a professionalwrestler, at age 30 he stopped, and dedicated his life to painting portraits.From 1937 to 1949, Tamayo and his wife Olga lived in New York, becoming widelyrecognized, and he painted some of his most valuable works during that time. Hehad his first show in New York City at Valentine Gallery. He gained credibilityand went on to show at Knoedler Gallery and Marlborough Gallery. In 1948 hisfirst major retrospective was done at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in MexicoCity, and while he was still controversial, his popularity was high. Stilluncomfortable with the political differences and controversy, Tamayo and Olgamoved to Paris in 1949, where he was welcomed by the artists of Europe. Heremained in Paris for 10 years.On June 12, 1991, Tamayo was admitted to MexicoCity's National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition for respiratory andheart failure. He suffered an acute stroke and died on June 24, 1991.
