Hand-signed and numbered in pencil, titled in pencil verso bottom in the right corner. Published in 1969 as a part of the 'Mujeres' suite, a portfolio that consists of 16 lithographs that portray women in various forms. Published by Touchstone Pub. Printed by Desjobert, Paris. Reference: Pereda 116. A very small, hardly noticeable 1 cm tear in the far lower-left corner.

Femme au Collant Rose by Rufino Tamayo is a 1969 lithograph from the Mujeres portfolio, a suite of sixteen prints exploring the female figure through Tamayo’s distinctive blend of modernism and Mexican artistic traditions. Framed within a monumental archway, the standing woman is rendered with simplified forms, rich earthy tones, and expressive textures. Her mask-like face and elongated proportions create an atmosphere that is both enigmatic and timeless, while the restrained interior setting and isolated sphere add a quiet sense of symbolism. Rather than portraying an individual sitter, Tamayo presents an archetypal figure that evokes dignity, mystery, and introspection. Printed by Desjobert in Paris and published by Touchstone Publications, the lithograph was issued in an edition of 150 and is hand signed and numbered in pencil.

Rufino Tamayo (Mexico, 1899–1991) blended modernism with Mexican heritage, creating bold, color-driven paintings and prints. Influenced by Zapotec culture, he avoided political narratives, focusing instead on universal themes and textured surfaces. His innovative use of color and form helped redefine 20th-century Mexican art beyond muralism.

Can you believe that, to say that ours is the only path when the fundamental thing in art is freedom! In art, there are millions of paths—as many paths as there are artists.

— Rufino Tamayo

Rufino Tamayo (b. 1899 Mexico, d. 1991 Mexico) was a painter and printmaker who forged a distinct path within 20th-century modern art. Blending elements of Mexican folk traditions with international modernism, his work resists overt political narratives in favor of universal themes such as humanity, cosmology, and existence. Tamayo is known for his rich color palettes, textured surfaces, and simplified, often monumental forms. Working across painting, mural, and graphic media, he developed innovative techniques, particularly in printmaking, where he helped popularize the mixografia process. Influenced by pre-Columbian art and European movements like Cubism, Tamayo created a visual language that feels both ancient and contemporary. His work situates him between cultural specificity and global abstraction, making him a key figure in redefining Mexican art beyond nationalist frameworks.

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.
