The artwork titled “Call to Revolution and Table of Universal Brotherhood,” created by the artist Jose Clemente Orozco in 1930-1931, is a fresco that belongs to the Muralism art movement. This piece is part of a series known as “The New School Mural Cycle” and is classified under the genres of symbolic painting and history painting.
The artwork depicts a group of diverse individuals seated around a large table. They represent various nationalities and ethnicities, symbolizing universal brotherhood. The setting appears solemn and contemplative, with pronounced use of dark and rich tones. In the center of the table lies an open book, perhaps signifying knowledge, enlightenment, or revolutionary ideology. The painting’s strong figures and structured composition reflect its historical and symbolic significance, resonating with themes of unity and collective struggle.
