EL HOMBRE EN LLAMAS – JOSE CLEMENTE OROZCO

This is one of the most famous paintwork of America. He made this painting in the Hospicio Cabañas. By one hand,this represents the prehispanic world, with their ancient and bloody rituals when people used to sacrifice the humans, and by the other hand the Spanish aspects with their positive aspects (science, Christian charity), and negative ones (fights, cruelty and dead).

LA TRINCHERA – JOSE CLEMENTE OROZCO

This painting is called “La Trinchera” and was also made by Jose Clemente Orozco in 1926. This mural represents the fear that men had in the revolution war, the defeat, the desperation of see people being murdered. This traditional painting show us the critics of everything that happened in the past and will happen in the future, not like a “new” Mexico, like a Mexico marked in fights without winning.

This painting was made with a strong expressionism by Siqueiros in 1947. The muscular body represents the definition of the big cities.
