Artist: Rufino Tamayo (1899–1991)Title: Galaxia (Galaxy)Year: 1977Medium: MixografíaPrinted Area: 51 × 120 cmPaper Size: 51 × 120 cmEdition: 10/100Details: Signed and numbered in crayonCreated in 1977, Galaxia is an expansive example of Tamayo’s fascination with cosmology, light and the metaphysical dimension of human existence. Rather than depicting celestial bodies literally, the artist evokes the rhythms, motion and silence of space through atmospheric gradients, chromatic vibration and a distilled sense of scale. The panoramic proportion invites an immersive reading, where form opens toward the infinite and color functions as an emotional, poetic field.Executed in mixografía — a medium that allowed Tamayo to build layered textures and tactile surfaces — the work reveals how technical innovation became central to his late production. Signed, numbered and documented in the catalogue raisonné, Galaxia reflects the artist’s mature synthesis of ancestral symbolism, scientific wonder and modernist purity, a combination that secured his place as a pivotal figure in 20th-century Latin American art.Printed at the Taller de Gráfica Mexicana on Arches paper, the piece belongs to a lineage of works produced in one of Mexico’s most influential print workshops. Renowned for its artisanal quality, collaborative ethos and experimentation in advanced graphic techniques, the Taller played an essential role in consolidating Mexico as a cultural nucleus for postwar printmaking on the international stage.
