Francisco Toledo: Paper Fables

Over the course of many decades, Oaxacan artist Francisco Toledo (known to his many adherents as El Maestro) created a prolific body of graphics and paintings whose imagery drew upon stories from Mexico’s ancient past – as well as its present. At once humorous, dark, ironic, and erotic, Toledo’s images visualize fables, moralistic and explicatory narratives about humans and animals. This exhibition presents works from an early period in Toledo’s career, primarily centered on the artist’s works on paper during the late 1960s and early 1970s. These works, donated to the museum from the collection of Mary and Hal Douthit, offer us a window into the capacious visual imagination of one of the most beloved artists of recent Mexican art history.

First Thursday of every month 5–8 p.m.
Free Museum Admission | Performances | Activities | Lectures

On the first Thursday of every month, the Tucson Museum of Art is free and open to the public from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.

Participants can enjoy mixed beats by MizSkoden, a tarot card reading with Alice Vath, and Kundalini Flow Moving Mediation guided by Fiona Fenix.
