Exhibition of giant watermelons pays tribute to Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo | Video

Guadalajara, Mexico, Apr 18 (EFE).- An exhibition by artists from Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, and the United States featuring 33 pieces of large plastic watermelons pays tribute to Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo, considered one of the pillars of muralism and plastic art of the 20th century.

In “Watermelons and Color: The Legacy of Rufino Tamayo,” on display at the University Cultural Center in Guadalajara, plastic artists take some elements of Tamayo’s works and adapt them to their style, the curator of the exhibition, Nancy Mayagoitia, told EFE.

The intention is to commemorate the 30th death anniversary of Tamayo, which took place in 2021, and at the same time to remember the generosity and momentum he provided to younger generations of artists, she said. (Camera: JOSÉ LUIS GONZÁLEZ).
