Description
-
José Orozco created this commission to display the Mexican landscape after the revolutionary war. The landscape of Mexico is known to be full of hot, dry, deserts, high mountains, and many rocks surrounding it. The commission includes a family standing outside; they're women, a man, and two children. It is unknown but is seems one of the figures have died due to the cloak covering the body. This commissions shows the hardship that families had to face after losing their homes and lands.
