From "Jose Clemente Orozco - Graphic Work" by Clemente Orozco, University of Texas Press, 2004.
"The image is a detail of the Mural "Contemporary World" in the Palace of Fine Arts, Mexico City.
The mural depicts "the real prostitution of power is implied by prostitutes fighting for survival. in a game of exuberance and decadence. The theme of women, especially prostitutes, has a special significance in Orozco's work, from his early watercolors to this fresco.."
