Description

"In 1945, the Colegio Nacional presented the memorable exhibition '70 dibujos recientes de José Clemente Orozco' that brought together a series of exceptional works later identified under the title 'La Verdad'. This exhibits reconstructs the visual sequence of that exhibition. This exhibition, mounted in collaboration with the Fundación José Clemente Orozco, consists of rarely-seen works spanning the last twenty years of his artistic career, from the 1920þs through the 1940þs. Orozco's later works are smaller and more intimate than his large-scale paintings and murals, evoking symbolic and personal themes. As the artist himself stated£æthe small works reveal the private life of the individualœ. His son, Clemente Orozco Valladares, explains that Orozco spent his life painting thousands of square feet of frescoes on the walls of universities and cultural landmarks. For this reason his easel work is scarce"--Provided by vendor.
