On Saturday, we paid a return visit to downtown Guadalajara, which is now completely decked out for Christmas. This time, we toured the Instituto Cultural Cabanas, which was originally a shelter for widows, the elderly, and orphans, and it now houses art exhibitions. The ma
in chapel is filled with murals, 57 in all, by the famous Mexican social realist painter José Clemente Orozco (1883-1949). The murals were done in 1938-39, including The Man of Fire, considered to be his masterpiece. Orozco was from the state of Jalisco, where GDL is located, and he specialized in bold murals focusing on the them
e of human suffering.
