"Cabaret" by Jose Clemente Orozco - very rare print from NYC years - $595 - (Nanaimo, BC)
Jose Orozco put out a lot of artwork in his highly valued life as an artist, revolutionary and parlour room philosopher. He painted with one hand after losing his left hand in an industrial accident at a tender age and he would be seen on the scaffold with his team, painting the mural with brushes in his right hand and a bucket in his deficient hand. One of the 'Tres Grandes' of mural painters to come out of Mexico, he took the middle road as compared to his fellow muralists and activists, Diego Maria Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Also known as the "Man of Fire" his murals and paintings did not create any debate over their meaning. The emotional element and human social events of his characters in his workImmersed in the human struggle his paintings can be stark or complex but they convey human suffering and our stupidity as well as life's better moments. This image is of his impressions of a cabaret in NYC, a city where he lived for a dozen years with his wife, before moving back to Mexico once his name had been well established in America.
