• Lot n° 65 José Clemente Orozco (1883-1949, Mexican) Untitled (figures) Watercolor and ink on paper Signed lower right: J.C. Orozco Sheet: 10" H x 13.5" W Provenance: Private collection, Temecula, CA By family descent from a Mexican Art collector Other Notes: José Clemente Orozco stands as one of the central figures of the Mexican Mural Renaissance, a movement he helped shape alongside Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Born in 1883 in Zapotlán el Grande, Jalisco, he developed an early interest in art after moving to Mexico City, where the engravings of José Guadalupe Posada left a lasting impression. His formal training at the Academy of San Carlos refined a visual language that would become synonymous with his name: monumental, expressionistic, and unflinching in its examination of human conflict. Orozco's art delved into human suffering and the political struggles of peasants and workers, reflecting his deep commitment to social causes. A life-altering accident at age twenty-one cost him his left hand but did nothing to diminish his ambition. Over a career that spanned Mexico and the United States, including significant periods in New York and Claremont, California, Orozco created some of the most influential fresco cycles of the twentieth century. His murals for the National Preparatory School in Mexico City and Pomona College remain defining achievements, marked by their dramatic compositions and profound moral urgency. Unlike many contemporaries who celebrated the heroism of the Mexican Revolution, Orozco confronted its human cost, offering a sobering and deeply humanistic counterpoint. Sheet: 10" H x 13.5" W Overall generally good appearance. A handling crease upper right, along the vertical edge about 2.5" H. Scattered pale foxmarks.
