About the Item
"Dos Personajes Atacado Per Perros" by Rufino Tamayo is a Figurative Abstraction Mixographia on amate paper measuring 61x98 in. The piece is sandwiched between two pieces of plexiglass to keep the mixograph safe. Rufino Tamayo, Dos personajes atacados per perros is a Mixograph made in 1983 and is the largest mixograph of its time. It is signed by the artist in the lower right and numbered in the lower left. This is HC VI/VII apart from the edition of 75 plus 7 artist proofs. In the catalogue Raisonne the piece is published and printed on handmade paper at the Taller de Grafica Mexicana, Mexico City.
Tamayo’s view of modernity required an escape from the limitations of nationalism and a search for cosmic meaning, addressing “social” problems in a more universal way. The modern social revolution in art embraced post-war abstract expressionist and surreal tendencies with the incorporation of primitive-style imagery. Tamayo’s works were an abstraction of human and animal forms, based on architectural and geometric shapes and a primitive sense of proportion and scale, such as in Two People Attacked by Dogs, a colossal Mixograph on Amate paper. Reminiscent of the violence and tragedy of Picasso’s Guernica (1937), it also portrays animals as a symbol of war and destruction. Two figures—one male and one female—are being chased by a pair of vicious dogs. This is a metaphor for how humanity is hunted by its own bestiality, fear, and evil, in the never-ending search for humanism within a cosmic perspective of the world.

Rufino Tamayo
Rufino Tamayo was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, in 1899 to parents Manuel Arellanes and Florentina Tamayo. Tamayo was active in the mid-20th century in Mexico and New York, painting figurative abstraction with surrealist influences. Although Tamayo studied drawing at the Academy of Art at San Carlos as a young adult, he became dissatisfied and eventually decided to study on his own.
