'''José Clemente Orozco''' (Ciudad Guzmán 1883 - 1949) was a [[Mexican]] Social Realist Muralist [[painter]]. ''Along with [[David Alfaro Siqueiros]] and [[Diego Rivera]], Orozco was one of the most important artists in the Mexican mural movement.'' [http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/11/ca/ho_31.91.7.htm]
Between 1936 and 1939, Orozco painted the celebrated frescos: "The People and Its Leaders" and "Miguel Hidalgo". His best frescos are at the Guadalajara's Hospicio Cabañas, showing a historical panorama of Mexico. In 1948, he painted a huge portrait, "Juárez Reborn".
Social Realism painting is focused on social issues.
