"Call to Revolution and Table of Universal Brotherhood (Struggle in the Occident)" is a 1931 mural by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco. The mural features a fragmented and complex composition that reflects the social and political turmoil of the time. The fragmented images suggest the breakdown of traditional social structures and the emergence of a new world order. The central figure of the mural is a man who is depicted as a revolutionary leader and symbol of hope, and the image of a pyramid suggests ancient civilizations and historical legacies. Orozco's work, known for its powerful symbolism and social commentary, exemplifies the Mexican Muralist movement of the early 20th century.
