“Niños en Fiesta…is a joyous and vibrant example of children at play, celebrating a native festivity with innocent gaiety. The textural, thick paint on masonite is characteristic of Tabuena’s Mexican paintings, lending a dense, rich quality to the work. By this stage in Tabuena’s career, his figures became more naturalistically rendered and emotionally intimate as he moved away from austere landscapes and pure modernism.”
