Wool; Not signed. // This monumental wool tapestry by Rufino Tamayo from the 1960s presents a totemic figure crowned by a luminous cream crescent moon set within a stark black circle, its body descending in deep burgundy and purple accents against a dark brown woven ground. Measuring 178 by 143 centimetres, the textile translates Tamayo's painterly synthesis of pre-Columbian iconography and modern abstraction into the medium of hand-woven wool. The bold simplification of the anthropomorphic form and the cosmic symbolism of the moon motif connect the work to ancient Mesoamerican cosmology while asserting a contemporary sculptural presence.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
