In his Foreword to this edition, Jean Charlot says: "An unusual
feature of Orozco's letters is the great deal that he has to say
about art. That one artist writing to another would emphasize art
as his subject seems normal enough to the American reader. Yet,
within the context of the Mexico of those days, the fact remains
exceptional. The patria Orozco was leaving behind had, even from
the point of view of its artists, many cares more pressing than
art."
The letters and unpublished writings of Orozco from this period
(1925-1929) describe an important period of transition in the
artist's life, from his departure from Mexico, almost as a defeated
man, to the period just before he received the great mural
commissions--Pomona, The New School for Social Research in New
York, Dartmouth--that were to bring him lasting international
fame.
