‘Men of Fire' exhibit shows off works by Orozco, Pollock

Courtesy of the Hood Museum The Hood Museum of Art's newest exhibit "Men of Fire: Jose Clemente Orozco and Jackson Pollock" powerfully demonstrates the influence that Orozco's "Epic of American Civilization" mural located in the basement of Baker Library had on Pollock's early work, affecting his choice of subject matter, imagery and formal design for years to follow. The exhibit was planned to commemorate the centenary of Pollock's birth and highlights a number of recent acquisitions by the Hood Museum, including Pollock's early works and Orozco's drafts for the mural, according to visiting curator for the show Sarah Powers. "I hope that viewers come away seeing a new side of both of the artists, especially an interesting side of Pollock they might be unaware of," Powers said. While scholars have long been in agreement that Mexican muralists like Orozco heavily influenced Pollock when he was in his 20s and 30s, they recently found evidence confirming that Pollock traveled to Dartmouth in 1936 to see Orozco's mural, Powers said.
