| Zusammenfassung: | "Between 1932 and 1934, José Clemente Orozco painted the twenty-four panel mural cycle entitled The Epic of American Civilization in Dartmouth College's Baker-Berry Library. An artifact of Orozco's migration from Mexico to the United States, the Epic represents a turning point in his career, standing as the only fresco in which he explores both US-American and Mexican narratives of national history, progress, and identity. While his title invokes the heroic epic form, the mural indicts history as complicit in colonial violence. It questions the claims of Manifest Destiny in the United States and the Mexican desire to mend the wounds of conquest in pursuit of a postcolonial national project. In Orozco's American Epic Mary K. Coffey places Orozco in the context of his contemporaries, such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and demonstrates the Epic's power as a melancholic critique of official indigenism, industrial progress, and Marxist messianism. In the process, Coffey finds within Orozco's work a call for justice that resonates with contemporary debates about race, immigration, borders, and nationality."-- |

An artifact of Orozco's migration from Mexico to the United States, the Epic represents a turning point in his career, standing as the only fresco in which he explores both US-American and Mexican narratives of national history, progress, and identity. While his title invokes the heroic epic form, the mural indicts history as complicit in colonial violence. It questions the claims of Manifest Destiny in the United States and the Mexican desire to mend the wounds of conquest in pursuit of a postcolonial national project. In Orozco's American Epic Mary K. Coffey places Orozco in the context of his contemporaries, such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and demonstrates the Epic's power as a melancholic critique of official indigenism, industrial progress, and Marxist messianism. In the process, Coffey finds within Orozco's work a call for justice that resonates with contemporary debates about race, immigration, borders, and nationality."--</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Orozco, José Clemente</subfield><subfield code="d">1883-1949</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)11859026X</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Wandmalerei</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4064542-3</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Ikonographie</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4026535-3</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Politische Identität</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4129611-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Orozco, José Clemente / 1883-1949</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Orozco, José Clemente / 1883-1949 / Criticism and interpretation</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Orozco, José Clemente / 1883-1949 / Epic of American civilization</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Mural painting and decoration, Mexican / New Hampshire / Hanover</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Orozco, José Clemente / 1883-1949</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Epic of American civilization (Orozco, José Clemente)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Mural painting and decoration, Mexican</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">New Hampshire / Hanover</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Criticism, interpretation, etc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Orozco, José Clemente</subfield><subfield code="d">1883-1949</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)11859026X</subfield><subfield code="D">p</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Wandmalerei</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4064542-3</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Ikonographie</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4026535-3</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Politische Identität</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4129611-4</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe</subfield><subfield code="z">978-1-4780-0330-4</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">V:DE-604</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032054140&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-032054140</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

An artifact of Orozco's migration from Mexico to the United States, the Epic represents a turning point in his career, standing as the only fresco in which he explores both US-American and Mexican narratives of national history, progress, and identity. While his title invokes the heroic epic form, the mural indicts history as complicit in colonial violence. It questions the claims of Manifest Destiny in the United States and the Mexican desire to mend the wounds of conquest in pursuit of a postcolonial national project. In Orozco's American Epic Mary K. Coffey places Orozco in the context of his contemporaries, such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and demonstrates the Epic's power as a melancholic critique of official indigenism, industrial progress, and Marxist messianism.
