Beautiful and richly illustrated catalogue of the exhibition that honors architect and painter O'Gorman in the centennial of his birth, presenting the most representative pieces of his multifaceted career: as an architect, painter, muralist, and an intellectual historian and sociologist. The magna event covered his creative process and his philosophy of progressive socialism in modern Mexico as reflected in his canvas, portraits and self-portraits, his painted and mosaic murals, tempera, drawings and preparatory studies while his architectural designs show the influence of Le Corbusier and other European modernists. The collection is largely property of private collections and has the distinction of exhibiting for the first time in a museum the fresco "La conquista del aire por el hombre" (the conquest of the air by man) a permanent mural located in the airport of the city of Mexico. Texts by noted art historian: Roberto Vallarino, Julieta Ortiz Gaitán, Gloria Villegas Moreno and Ida Prampolini.
