The themes in Orozco�s murals tended to concentrate on the revolution and the ideas and abuses of the people who participated in the revolution. His work become a format for his distaste of the Mexican political system. However, he did put his country�s needs before the needs of foreign tourists. He insisted that the Mexican murals not "flatter the tourists" and that the murals should be realistic despite how unflattering the depiction of the subject. Orozco followed the Nietzschean philosophy of life. |
