Zapatistas by Orozco in the Museum of Modern Art, March 2010
José Clemente Orozco
Zapatistas
1931
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 45 x 55" (114.3 x 139.7 cm)
Credit: Given anonymously
Object number: 470.1937
Department: Painting and Sculpture
In the late 1920s and 1930s Mexico's most famous muralists, Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—known as Los tres grandes (The Big Three)—spent significant time living and working in the United States. Although their styles differed dramatically, the slain revolutionary peasant leader Emiliano Zapata (1879–1919) figures prominently in their work. Unlike Rivera, who always took a celebratory approach in representing Zapata and his supporters, in this painting Orozco depicts a somber moment in the Mexican Revolution as Zapatistas—Zapata's followers—march toward their death. "I don’t trust revolutions or glorify them since I witnessed too much butchery," Orozco later remarked. His trademark palette, dominated by blacks and earthy reds, underscores the violent nature of the subject matter and echoes the colors in the political caricatures he made early in his career for revolutionary journals.-- Gallery label from 2009.
