José Clemente Orozco: Man of Fire

  • Esperanza, Gran Salon & Plaza 4261 North 5th Street Philadelphia, PA, 19140 United States (map)

Latin Food, Live Music, Screening, and Conversation

The life of Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco (1883-1949), a life filled with drama, adversity and triumph, is one of the great stories of the modern era. Despite poverty, childhood rheumatic fever that damaged his heart and an explosion in his youth that cost him his left hand, Orozco persisted in his wish to become an artist.

Featuring a post-screening conversation and Q&A with Philadelphia artists Zafka Christensen and Cesar Viveros.
