The Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo (1899–1991) is well known for his Surrealist-influenced paintings and murals – this exhibition focuses on his less-explored dedication to printmaking, with works on paper spanning more than six decades of his long career. Also on show are a group of Mesoamerican sculptures, an important visual reference for the artist, selected from the museum’s collection. Find out more from LACMA’s website.
