ABOUT THE ARTIST José Clemente Orozco November 23 1883 - September 7 1949 was a Mexican caricaturist and painter who specialized in political murals that established the Mexican Mural Renaissance together with murals by Diego Rivera David Alfaro Siqueiros and others. Orozco was the most complex of the Mexican muralists fond of the theme of human suffering but less realistic and more fascinated by machines than Rivera. Mostly influenced by Symbolism he was also a genre painter and lithographer. Between 1922 and 1948 Orozco painted murals in Mexico City; Orizaba; Claremont California; New York City; Hanover New Hampshire; Guadalajara Jalisco; and Jiquilpan Michoacán. With Diego Rivera he was a leader of the artist movement known as Mexican Muralism. An important distinction he had from Rivera was his darker view of the Mexican Revolution. While Rivera was a bold optimistic figure touting the glory of the revolution Orozco was less comfortable with the bloody toll the social movement was taking. Orozco is known as one of the Big Three muralists along with Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. All three artists as well as the painter Rufino Tamayo experimented with fresco on large walls and elevated the art of the mural. Delphic Studios unknown
