José Clemente Orozco. Mexican muralist painter, he is considered the "Mexican Goya", founding member of El Colegio Nacional and National Arts Award in 1946, he also practiced engraving and lithography. José Clemente Orozco was born in Zapotlán el Grande, Jalisco, in 1883. Even as a child, he met José Guadalupe Posada, the example of whose engravings induced him to become interested in painting. Orozco moved with his family to Guadalajara and then to Mexico City, where he arrived in 1890. At the age of twenty-three he entered the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos to complete his academic training, since his family had decided that he should take advantage of his undeniable talent for drawing in "studies that would ensure his future and that, in addition, could serve to manage his land", so the boy began a career as an agricultural engineer. The professional destiny that the family environment reserved for him did not at all satisfy Orozco's aspirations, and he soon had to face the consequences of an inner struggle in which his artistic talent rebelled against studies that did not interest him. And already in 1909 he decided to devote himself completely to painting. Título: Orozco.

José Clemente Orozco. Pintor muralista mexicano, es considerado el "Goya mexicano", miembro fundador de El Colegio Nacional y Premio Nacional de Artes en 1946, también practicó el grabado y la litografía. José Clemente Orozco nació en Zapotlán el Grande, Jalisco, en 1883. Ya de niño conoció a José Guadalupe Posada, el ejemplo de cuyos grabados le indujo a interesarse por la pintura. Orozco se trasladó con su familia a Guadalajara y luego a Ciudad de México, donde llegó en 1890. A los veintitrés años ingresó en la Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos para completar su formación académica, ya que su familia había decidido que aprovechara su innegable talento para el dibujo en "estudios que aseguraran su futuro y que, además, pudieran servirle para administrar sus tierras", por lo que el muchacho inició la carrera de ingeniero agrónomo. El destino profesional que le reservaba el entorno familiar no satisfizo en absoluto las aspiraciones de Orozco, que pronto tuvo que afrontar las consecuencias de una lucha interior en la que su talento artístico se rebelaba contra unos estudios que no le interesaban. Y ya en 1909 decidió dedicarse por completo a la pintura.
