Like much of his art, these two prints draw inspiration from his native region, which was known for its indigenous culture into the 1900s. The earthy tones and simple shapes of both works suggest decorations on early pre-Colombian pottery. For the print at right, Tamayo used Mixography, his own technique of printing from a cast bronze plate that embossed texture and dimensionality into paper. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
