Description

An image from the "Mexican Masters Suite", published by Editions Press, San Francisco under the direction of master printer Ernest F. de Soto. Included in the suite were eight lithographs, two prints per artist, by Tamayo, Jose Luis Cuevas, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Francisco Zuniga.

The edition consists of 100 proofs on Arches paper, numbered 1/100 - 100/100, plus 3 printer's proofs and a Bon a Tirer; a deluxe edition of 25 impressions, numbered I/XXV - XXV/XXV on German Etching paper and 25 Hors Commerce proofs, numbered 1/25 - 25/25; 11 Artist's Proofs, such as this impression. The image was printed using lithography stones, which were defaced.

Tamayo used 4 stones to print 4 colors; Ocre, Vermillion, Blue and Black, in that order. Tamayo drew on the stones with lithographic crayons, liquid tusche, diluted tusche washes and made subtractive textures with a Weldon Roberts rubber hone eraser and scraping instruments.

This presentation proof impression is annotated "To P.J. Gallagher" who was one of the partners in Editions Press.
