The Supreme Court of Justice

The Supreme Court of Justice was building in downtown and it was building for the architect Antonio Muñoz García and opened in 1941. It´s a very awesome building, it has 7, 488 square meters. His facade has a big bronze door with 3 tons weight with sculptures of Ernesto Tamariz.

Since building was open, it has become an art´s gallery because in lobby there is an important Jose Clemente Orozco´s mural. This work is a very strong review of power and government.

We recommend Rafael Cauduro´s mural, called 7 greater crimes. They are crimes that power commit or power´s allow. In an interview Cauduro, he said that this work is about “why injustice existence” and it is a reflection about crime and justice´s mistakes. Cauduro use various novel tecniques in this work, use painting of glass, relif with material´s various. Cauduro achieves terrible scenes with hyper-realistic style.

The perspective created by Cauduro, expand the space of the wall to the other dimensions, accentuating the drama and hopeless of the scenes.

You can see various artist´s murals and observe differents techniques about same topic. The problem is that you can´t take pictures, but you can enjoy a lot the travel.

The Supreme Court of Justice building is in Pino Suarez Street #2, Col Centro, the entry is free, all days.
