Katharsis (detail)José Clemente Orozco
This apocalyptic 1934 fresco denounces modern war, mechanization, and mass politics. A class battle spirals into chaos, blending corpses, weapons, and machines. Prostitutes symbolize moral decay, while flames above suggest purging fire. Orozco envisions destruction not as an end, but as the painful birth of a new society.
