The Birth of Our Nation (detail)Rufino Tamayo
This section of Tamayo’s 1952 mural captures the violent collision of worlds at Mexico’s origin. Abstracted forms of horses, warriors, and fractured landscapes swirl under a darkened sky. Tamayo’s modernist language expresses conquest not as heroic myth, but as cosmic upheaval—shaping a mestizo identity through struggle and rupture.
