View of the mural with water

Detail of the tunnel and the floor of the mural “El agua, origen de la vida en la Tierra” with water. “Rivera thought and made the composition of his work based on the effects of movement that the torrent will provide: the bacteria on the bottom, the lines of the stripes —species of force lines not previously tried by the artist—, the vegetables and the fish will take on the undulating life that the water communicates to them.” (Tiempo, July 20, 1951).
