Description

Orozco was involved in the Mexican Muralism movement, and painted this piece after. It was finished in 1934, for the Baker Library at Dartmouth College. This piece shows elements shown in Mexican Muralism pieces. The three scenes shown here are, from left to right, "Anglo-America," "Hispano-America," and "Gods of the Modern World”. The segment shown here is less than one-fourth of the entire mural.
