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 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.
