The artwork titled “Three People” was created by Rufino Tamayo in 1970. Crafted using marble and sand, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is categorized within the genre of figurative art.
The artwork depicts three elongated, abstracted figures standing side by side against a vivid, textured background. The figures are imbued with the surreal and emotive qualities characteristic of Expressionism. Variations in color, predominantly deep purples, vibrant reds, and contrasting yellows, contribute to the dynamic and dramatic visual effect. Each figure is adorned with geometric shapes and lines, some of which are highlighted with a brighter palette, adding depth and complexity to the composition. The background transitions from dark shades to brilliant hues, creating a striking contrast that highlights the figures and enhances the expressive nature of the piece.
