The art of Oscar de Mejo is both 'sophisticated' and 'primitive'.  It is 'primitive' in the sense of being direct, playful, brightly colored and precisely delineated.  It is 'sophisticated' in its choice of themes - and in the degree to which it is artfully influenced by the 'primitive.'  De Mejo has learned things about vision and subtle distortion by studying the work of such naive painters as Bombots and Rousseau, just as Tamayo learned how to disembody his peasants by studying Picasso, or Picasso in turn had gone to school to the African sorcerers - and with as much right."
