They bought a house in Salida Real a Quer\u00e9taro in the early 1940\u2019s, which the painter called \u201cLa Gloria\u201d. From his own aesthetic vision, Rufino Tamayo captured the essence of what is MExican, what we see on the streets, daily life. We appreciate his artistic compositions which show a poetic realism that evokes the Mexico of yesteryear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the highlights of this exhibition we find <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lovers Watching the Landscape <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1943)<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where we observe Olga and Rufino Tamayo watching the city, drawing the neo-gothic tower that is \u201cla Parroquia de San Miguel Arc\u00e1ngel\u201d.
