José Clemente Orozco
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.
