Not on view
Tamayo is one of Mexico’s most famous artists. During the 1920s and 1930s Tamayo participated in some of the artists’ groups that emerged after the Revolution. This print reveal his characteristic approach to printmaking in which he cut deeply into the block to maximize the effect of the grain, highlighting the woodcut technique. The date of The Woodcutter is uncertain: it may have been made in 1930 or earlier, in the 1920s, when Tamayo was in New York.
