Description	Panel from Gods of the Modern World series. "Orozco moved closer to the Expressionists in spirit, at first working in the stylized, sculpturesque manner of [Ernst] Barlach, before later adopting the more dynamic and fluid forms of El Greco, often on a scale of almost Nietzschean gigantism. Orozco too worked in the United States, and stayed there from 1927 to 1934, during which time he carried out important mural assignments at Pomona College in California and the New School for Social Research in New York, as well as in the Baker Library at Dartmouth College. In the climactic scene reproduced here, from a panoramic series on the history of the Americas, a Resurrected Christ takes an ax to his own Cross in the ruins of a self-destroyed Machine Age."
