Clemente Orozco

José Clemente Orozco (born November 23, 1883, in Ciudad Guzmán, Mexico – died September 7, 1949, in Mexico City, Mexico) was one of the most important figures in Mexican muralism and one of the most influential painters of the 20th century. Orozco's work is known for its dramatic power, bold use of color, and its deep exploration of social, political, and human themes. As a painter and muralist, Orozco's art was shaped by his experiences and his commitment to using his work as a vehicle for social change, making him a central figure in the post-revolutionary Mexican cultural renaissance.
 
Orozco’s murals, which adorn public buildings throughout Mexico and the United States, are among the most significant examples of muralist art in the world. His works often reflect themes of human suffering, social injustice, and the struggles of the working class, using powerful, symbolic imagery to convey complex emotional and political messages. His murals do not shy away from depicting the harsh realities of life, instead embracing their intensity to communicate the urgency of social transformation.
