Mixed Media Plaster on Steel. Unique work. Hand-signed by the artist. // This imposing unique sculpture by Rufino Tamayo stands two metres tall in grey plaster on a steel base, its simplified anthropomorphic head crowned by vertical grooves that recall ancient stele and pre-Columbian monoliths. Created in 1981 under the title Monolito, the work embodies Tamayo’s lifelong ambition to reconnect modern Mexican art with the monumental sculptural traditions of Mesoamerica. The rough, mineral surface of the plaster preserves the directness of the artist’s modelling hand, while the stark verticality and totemic presence transform gallery space into something approaching a ceremonial site.

What is Cubism?
Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
