Eisenstein y Orozco: una relación de mutua admiración

Abstract

Eisenstein’s sentimentally romantic temperament led him to idealize his relationship with Orozco. Documents previously unknown to researchers shed light on the birth of the friendship between the two artists, born of a mutual admiration for each other’s work. The article traces the course of the acquaintance from an idealized failure to meet to the only encounter that actually took place between them, in the city of New York, and on to Eisenstein’s return to Moscow, his film about Mexico unfinished.
