...rida maintains that many of the wiggly goblins and squat blobs which appear in paintings like Time Has Stratified Eternity are derived from ancient Mayan and Tarascan art forms.

All these belong to Lázaro Cárdenas who is of Tarascan descent. He loves to visit the remote villages and scattered hovels of his own people, the "Indians" whom he is busy raising to the status of ''Mexicans,"likes to say: "We want fewer Indians and more Mexicans!" For them he has a Six-Year Plan or "Mexican New Deal...
