José Clemente Orozco (Ciudad Guzmán 1883 - Mexico City 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. [1]
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". Throughout his career, Orozco combined painting with drawing and lithography. With his political views, he was a superb cartoonist. As Rivera and Siqueiros, politicaly he was a leftist.
