The artwork titled “Mujer en gris” was created by Rufino Tamayo in 1931. This piece belongs to the Cubism art movement and is classified within the nude painting (nu) genre.
The artwork depicts a nude female figure rendered in earthy, muted tones of gray and brown. The composition centers on the figure, who is portrayed seated on a rectangular, geometrically patterned block. The figure’s posture is contemplative, with her head tilted back and her gaze directed upwards. The use of Cubist techniques is evident in the angular treatment of the body and the abstraction of facial features. The background is kept simple and blends seamlessly with the figure, highlighting the subject’s form and presence.
