Jose Clemente Orozco's 1930 mural, Prometheus, created for the
Pomona College campus, is a dramatic and gripping examination of
heroism. This thoughtful exhibition catalogue examines the multiple
ways Orozco's vision resonates with four artists working in Mexico
today. Isa Carrillo, Adela Goldbard, Rita Ponce de Leo n, and Naomi
Rinco n-Gallardo share Orozco's interest in history, justice,
social protest, storytelling, and power, yet approach these topics
from their own twenty-first- century sensibilities. These artists
activate Orozco's mural by reinvigorating Prometheus for a
contemporary audience.This gorgeous volume presents substantial new
scholarship connecting Mexican muralism with contemporary art
practices. Three new essays address different aspects of Orozco,
Prometheus, and the connections between Los Angeles and Mexico. The
contributors take on a broad range of topics, from murals as public
art to how Orozco's work fits into contemporary frameworks of
aesthetic theory. The book also includes a chronology, vibrant
reproductions, and critical essays focused on the contemporary
artists.
