Interior con Sandía (Interior with Watermelon)
A vibrant and richly colored etching by the celebrated Mexican modernist Rufino Tamayo, this work depicts the iconic motif of the watermelon — a recurring symbol in his oeuvre representing abundance, sensuality, and Mexican cultural identity — set within an intimate interior scene. Tamayo's masterful use of color and bold, simplified forms reflects his unique synthesis of pre-Columbian artistic traditions with European modernism. Printed on fine Guarro paper, the full sheet showcases the artist's expressive command of the etching medium, with deep, luminous tones that bring warmth and vitality to the composition.
