Title: Orozco
Description: Exhibition of the artwork of Thomas Newbolt (England, 1951) and Roberto Parodi (México, 1957) inspired in the mural work of Orozco. Both artists extracted the aesthetic essence of noted Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco and with it laid the foundations for putting their own art into play. The creative dialogue resulted in more than 60 works produced ex profesoʺ, in a collaboration effort between the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts and the College of San Ildefonso. The edition includes facsimile reproductions of the correspondance between Thomas Newbolt (from Cambridge) and Roberto Parodi (from Mexico) exchanging ideas on a project to create "new work that should reflect José Clemente Orozco extraordinary body of work".
