La Casa BlancaOrozco was one of the PRI's cadre of Marxist muralists, and his communist brush was far more aggressive than Rivera's. But notwithstanding his atheism, he was not blind to what writers later called el Mexico profundo. This is not the Mexico of beyond imbecilic "indian validation" but refers to the indigenous as it came to be in dynamic contact with the iberian. Rivera's depiction of the Indian, lovely as it was, bordered on the cartoonish or sentimental, Orozco's "Casa Blanca" captured something deeper and truer.
