15. RufinoTamayo’s Art By Madilynn Rufino Tamayo didn’t make art about politics like other Mexican artists, he preferred childlike art.
16. Rufino Tamayo By Megan This painting is called women reaching out to the moon. He completed it in1946. I think it looks like they are dancing in the moon light. I wonder how he got the idea. Or if he felt something during the time. I think the painting shows Happy not sad. What do you think?
