Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up-A fair and well-rounded introduction to the great muralist and highly influential 20th-century artist. Cruz clearly illustrates how Orozco's prodigious talent and dedication to perfecting his craft eclipsed the injuries he suffered as a teenager that caused him to lose one hand and injure the other. Many of the artist's works are mentioned and given brief but enlightening interpretations. The author clearly explains the controversial themes of Orozco's works, which often dealt with sensitive political and social issues. There are many black-and-white photos and a few pertinent quotations from Orozco himself, family members, and friends. The book has extensive chapter notes and a list for further reading, both evidence of its scholarly format that nevertheless remains approachable. This accessible title will be helpful for research, but also appealing for browsing.-Phyllis Graves, Creekwood Middle School, Kingwood, TX

5.0 out of 5 stars Jose Clemente Orozco: Mexican Artist, Dec 15 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jose Clemente Orozco: Mexican Artist (Library Binding)
This historical book was an excellent source of information, not only about Jose Clemente Orozco, the artist, but about 20th century Mexico and it's history. The illustrations are good and done in black and white. I would recommend this book for students from the 7th grade up, as well as teachers and parents.
