José Clemente Orozco

José Clemente Orozco was a prominent Mexican muralist known for his powerful and emotive paintings that explored themes of human suffering, social injustice, and the struggles of the Mexican people. Active in the early to mid-20th century, Orozco used his art to convey deep political messages and critiques of society. His works feature dramatic figures and vivid imagery, often highlighting the consequences of war and oppression. Unlike his contemporaries Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, Orozco's style focused more on individual emotion and existential themes, leaving a significant mark on both Mexican art and global contemporary art movements.
