Connections Across Centuries: Rufino Tamayo, Raul Baltazar, and the
Ancient Americas Rufino Tamayo (1899–1991), an internationally
renowned Mexican artist of the 20th century, often drew inspiration
from Mesoamerican art in the creation of modern figures. Hear more
about Tamayo’s interest in the ancient Americas from museum educator
Eduardo Sánchez and local artist Raul Baltazar, whose own practice
looks to Mesoamerican culture. Baltazar is working with the students
of Charles White Elementary on an original installation responding to
the art in “Rufino Tamayo: Innovation and Experimentation.” The
conversation will be moderated by exhibition curator Rachel Kaplan.
