Description

In 1947, artist Jose Clemente Orozco inaugurated the exhibition "Los Teules" at El Colegio Nacional in Mexico City. This was the first time that Orozco presented a set of artistic pieces that through the plastic discourse, recounted one of the most important historical events in Mexico: the Spanish Conquest. Inspired in the chronicle "Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España" by conquerer Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Orozco stunned with his raw representations of the encounter between Indians and Spanish. Seven decades after, the present catalogue comprises a compilation of 43 of the 66 works that integrated the original exhibition, recovered by the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil and recreates the original museographic script that Orozoco presente at El Colegio Nacional.
