- "...Without Any of the Seductions of Art": On Orozco´s Misogyny and Public Art in the Americas Mary K. Coffey Arte This paper examines the purported misogyny of José Clemente Orozcos representations of women by situating one of his more egregious images the grinning prostitute in his 1934 mural Catharsis within the aesthetic and political discursive context of international modernism, industrial modernity, and urban development. By locating the production of this mural within a particular moment in postrevolutionary Mexico and attending to the political significance of its venue, the essay suggests that Orozcos image might best be understood as a critique of academic allegory in general, and more specifically, a critique of the renewal of Porfirian civic rhetoric with the completion of the Palace of Fine Arts. By interrogating Orozcos gendered iconography in this way, I argue we are better able to understand how female allegory, public art, and the nation-state were being articulated in postrevolutionary Mexico, thereby enabling an appreciation of both the insights and limits of Orozcos gendered iconography. 2003 artículo científico 0185-1276 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36908304 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=369 Anales del Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Anales del Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas (México) Num.83 Vol.XXV
