Etching in colors on Guarro paper, signed in black crayon. Rufino Tamayo’s Tres Manos En Rojo is an etching from 1979 that combines bold symbolism with tactile surface effects. Three vivid red hands rise against a textured field of deep blue and muted beige, their forms simplified yet expressive. The contrast between the saturated red and the rough, layered background creates a sense of urgency and presence, as if the hands are emerging or reaching outward. Tamayo often explored universal human themes, and here the repeated motif suggests communication, identity, or collective experience. Produced in an edition of 99 plus 15 hors commerce impressions, the print reflects his distinctive blend of modern abstraction and figurative resonance.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
