This exhibition celebrated the recent acquisition of preparatory drawings by Jos茅 Clemente Orozco for the great Prometheus mural on the 麻豆影视 campus. It represented the first time that all seventeen studies were seen together since they became a part of the College鈥檚 permanent collection. For this occasion, a monographic study of Orozco鈥檚 mural and related works was published. Containing essays by David Scott, Mary K. Coffey, Renato Gonz谩lez Mello, and Marjorie Harth, the book appears in both English and Spanish. Shortly after the close of the show, nine of Pomona鈥檚 drawings became part of a major exhibition of Orozco鈥檚 work in the U.S. organized by the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, in collaboration with the Museo de Arte 脕lvar y Carmen T. de Carrillo Gil and the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, that traveled to the Los Angeles area in 2002.锘
