Restaurant in East L.A.
Hey, does anyone think someone should add something about the Tamayo Mexican restaurant in East L.A? I mean, it shows a great deal of his artwork, including a few watermelons and a representation of the last supper.

Also, does anyone else think he was influenced by Picasso? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthias 01 (talk • contribs) 06:39, May 14, 2007

NY Times piece
There's an article in the New York Times about one of his works, Three People, which was stolen in Houston, and recovered in New York nearly two decades later. Someone may want to use it as a an additional reference. Mind matrix  15:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Zapotecan Indian Painter
Or should he be descibed as a painter of Zapotec Indian heritage? I know nothing of Mexican art but the article states that his parents were mestizo, therefore not indian. When I traveled to Oaxaca I met a lot of people who were fluent in Zapotec language (as well as Spanish), regarded themseves of Zapotec heritage, but did not consider themselves Zapotec Indians, would this be the case too?

Saying he was "Zapotec indian" and then Mestizo in the same sentence is completely confusing. In Mexico these are mutually exclusive terms unless further explained, however, in Oaxaca the line is thinner than in other parts of the country. In addition "Zapotec" is more correct than "Zapotecan," and if you read the first article cited, there is a strong suggestion that his "Indian" identity was more of a myth. I am rewording.

 * Rufino himself was proud to be Zapotec and is described as such in books and catalogs of his art shows. In most art books, including Artists from Latin American Cultures: A Biographical Dictionary‎ and Masks of the spirit: image and metaphor in Mesoamerica, his parents are described as being Zapotec Indians not mestizo. -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:26, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Style
The prose in this article is tediously prolix. It begs for a thorough rewrite. Tamayo deserves better.Tristan noir (talk) 17:56, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
