José Clemente Orozco

José Clemente Orozco was a Mexican painter and one of the leading muralists of the Mexican Renaissance, with Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. His frescoes are darker and more tragic than Rivera’s, showing the violence of the Revolution and human suffering in a forceful, expressionist style. In the United States he painted The Epic of American Civilization at Dartmouth College and Prometheus at Pomona College. His great cycle in the Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara includes the burning figure Man of Fire.
