H e is one of the great Mexican avant-garde painters.
He gave these ideas a heroic style, based on a realism with an expressionist character, consciously linked to the old Mexican artistic traditions, violently dynamic and widely manufactured. Together with his family, he moved to Guadalajara and then to the country's Capital, arriving in 1890. He attended to some drawing classes at the Academy. He finally came back to San Carlos and stayed there from 1906 to 1910. When the renaissance of the mural painting began in 1922, Orozco reserved for himself the walls of the large patio at the National High School, a former jesuitic college, San Ildelfonso.
