Man and woman; or, natives with Maguey
Rufino Tamayo Mexican
Not on view
This print is one of eight that Tamayo made between 1925 and 1928 in New York, where they were sold by Weyhe Gallery. Set in a mountainous landscape, an Indian man and woman face each other. Maguey plants, a type of agave, grow in the background. They are a symbol of Mexican culture, and the sugars they produce are used for making tequila.
