  HISTORY OF MEXICO - TRAGEDY AND TRIUMPH: THE DRAMA OF JOSE CLEMENTE OROZCO - BY JIM TUCK IN MEXICO CONNECT
Born at a time when Mexico was ruled by a seemingly revolution-proof dictator, Orozco was in an ideal position to depict how difficult would be the effort of the Mexican people to obtain social justice.
Between 1910 and 1916 Orozco drew cartoons for the magazine El Hijo de Ahuizote and was one of a group of politically oriented artists on the staff of La Vanguardia, organ of the Constitutionalist movement during the Revolution.
Orozco went to the United States in 1917; on his return he painted "Soldadera," celebrating the women soldiers of the Revolution, "Combat" (also about the Revolution) and a picture of his mother.
