Just a few paintings and a simple quote today from the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991). I love his use of color, something for which he was celebrated. He was very prolific through a long career and while his work is easily understood by everybody, everywhere, as he said above, it was often built with the colors and imagery of his homeland.
I am showing just the tiniest sampling of his body of work which, simply put, is good stuff.

Looking at that next-to-last image of the dog against the blue night sky, I was reminded of the work of George Rodrique, whose blue dog became ubiquitous.
The blues in that painting and the one at the top are gorgeous. It’s as though he distilled the color I found in this flower this past weekend.
Gorgeous color. It is sometimes difficult to capture it in paint.
