In all fairness, this may be because much of Tamayo's strongest work is in Mexican collections & not widely reproduced, like his 1932 Las Musas de la Pintura (The Muses of Painting) @MUNALmx. But still a significant oversight given massive attention to Guston this past year
Look, I love Philip Guston's work as much as the next person, but why is it that no one seems to have discussed that Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo's 1930s-era art is almost a template for Guston's signature '70s visual idiom? Here's a 1928 Tamayo & a 1971 Guston
Shoveling out: Vincent van Gogh, Winter (The Vicarage Garden under Snow), January 1885 @NortonSimon
Two early 20th-century painters' views of the Queensboro Bridge:
-Edward Hopper, 1913
-José Clemente Orozco, 1928
@BruceLaBruce @FrankSFNYC His watercolors of young soldiers bathing during World War I are also pretty telling https://t.co/ZoCS6K6ZXS
My god, May Stevens's "Big Daddy" works of the 1960s & '70s, which caricature the empty trappings of masculine authority—and its chilling banality—are so damn relevant right now. They really should be better known
