Widely regarded as Mexico’s foremost colorist, Rufino Tamayo was born in Oaxaca and began studying art in Mexico City. Soon after beginning his studies at the N...ational Museum of Archaeology, he accepted a position as head of the art department at the National Museum of Archaeology. Tamayo was quickly inspired by the cultural heritage he discovered there. He introduced designs, colors, and textures he found in historic pieces into his own style, which made his art dramatically different from that of the celebrated muralists who drew their subjects from the more recent revolutionary past. Although Tamayo's work revived an interest in easel painting, he remained overshadowed by Diego Rivera, José David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco in Mexico. In 1936, Tamayo moved to New York City, where he lived until 1949. In New York, his circle included luminaries like Marcel Duchamp, Reginald Marsh, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Stuart Davis, and eventually collectors such as Samuel A. Lewisohn, vice-president of the Museum of Modern Art. Only when he returned to Mexico in 1961 did Tamayo receive the recognition at home that he readily garnered abroad. Tamayo regarded his work as progressive, and in cosmically themed paintings from the 1940s and ’50s he dealt with the arrival of the space age and his fears of annihilation. By the time he painted Laughing Woman, he was not alone in such anxiety, but he was at heart a humanist whose figures expressed dignity and joy more often than terror. Rufino Tamayo (Mexican, active New York, 18991991), Laughing Woman, 1950. Oil on canvas, 39 1/2 in. x 32 in. Crocker Art Museum Purchase.
