Context:

A Zapotec Indian, Rufino Tamayo was largely self-taught, having spent much of his youth drawing Mexican folk art in museums. Fascinated by folkways, Tamayo also derived inspiration from Braque and Picasso, whose interest in African and Oceanic art struck a similar chord. Tamayo lived and worked in Paris and New York intermittently for much of his life, returning to Mexico only occasionally until 1964. Unlike his fellow muralists Rivera and Siqueiros, Tamayo avoided political commentary, concentrating instead on the earthly and the transcendent in human experience. "Young Women Jumping Rope" captures the moment when exuberant physical expression melds with the spiritual. The rich colors and muscular, almost architectual figures reflect the vigor of the ancient indigenous arts of Mexico, predating the Columbian conquest and reaching back to the mythic beginnings of civilization in the Americas.
