Looking at the landscape by Matthew Albanese, The Grand Illusion, how do you think these people in this landscape live in comparison to the people in Juan O’Gomans, Sand Mines of Tetalpa?

Early life and family

Juan O'Gorman was born on 6 July 1905 in Coyoacán,[2][3] then a village to the south of Mexico City and now a borough of the Federal District, to an Irish immigrant father, Cecil and Encarnación O'Gorman (née O'Gorman). His parents were distant cousins. He had three younger siblings, Edmundo, Margarita and Tomás.[4][5] In the 1920s he studied architecture at the Academy of San Carlos, the Art and Architecture school at the National Autonomous University.[3]

he was always smiling, wearing the same thing, and sitting criss cross apple sauce.
