Youth 1924

"Youth" is a 1924 mural by the Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco, a prominent figure in the Mexican Muralist Movement. The mural portrays a powerful, dynamic nude male figure leaping forward with an outstretched arm, suggesting the energy and potential of youth. The stark black and white palette and angular forms characteristic of Orozco's style contribute to the artwork's sense of drama and dynamism. Orozco's murals often explored themes of social justice and revolution, and "Youth" likely reflects his interest in the potential of the younger generation to shape a better future.
