“In the 1930s, my Dad was a muralist. Orozco was his guide, his mentor. He wrote him, he traveled to Dartmouth to sit at his feet, to watch him fill the walls with cascading images. He persuaded the Master to take him on, to take him to Mexico, to the heart of the art, to help him mix and color the plaster, to outline the cartoons on the vaulted ceiling high above, the great figure of Prometheus, hovering overhead, promising enlightenment and destruction. There he is, a young man on the scaffold with Orozco, so full of dreams, so full of hope.” -From ZERO: An Illustrated Memoir by Jan Egleson; illustrated by Kseniya Galper.
