Call to Revolution and Table of Universal Brotherhood (Science, Labor and Art) 1931

"Call to Revolution and Table of Universal Brotherhood (Science, Labor and Art)" is a 1931 mural by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco. The artwork depicts three figures engaged in different tasks, each representing a different aspect of society: science, labor, and art. The figure on the left, holding a ruler, embodies science. The figure in the center, wielding a hammer, represents labor. The figure on the right, constructing a table, signifies art. Orozco's monumental murals, often characterized by stark imagery and a powerful sense of social commentary, reflect his commitment to social justice and his critique of the political and economic structures of his time. The mural exemplifies the artist's signature style, with bold, geometric forms and a dramatic use of light and shadow. Orozco, a leading figure in the Mexican mural movement, sought to engage the public through his art, making his works powerful statements about social and political realities.
