Langosta
Rufino Tamayo
Circa: Midcentury
Boldly composed and richly symbolic, Langosta (Spanish for “lobster”) is a striking example of Rufino Tamayo’s unique blend of surrealism and indigenous Mexican iconography. The crimson creature sits elevated on a pedestal-like table, silhouetted against a brooding background—part offering, part omen. Tamayo's mastery of color and texture, along with his embrace of mythic simplicity, gives this work its haunting, almost ceremonial power.
