I'm not sure why we were asked to look at pieces of art. I feel very much insecure when analising or interpreting a work of art. I know knothing about painting, to be honest. So what you're about to read it's just my humble opinion and reactions to this painting.

The assignment was to look for paintings that would reflect scientific development. The name of the picture is Rio Revuelto and it is the work of José Chávez Morado. He was born in Mexico in 1909.He was a concerned with social issues and that was reflected in his art.

When I saw this painting I related what I saw in it as a result of this kind of development. People are given little room in this picture, a detail that reflects the instrumental role of man in our society.

The architectural clash in the background show the advancement of cities and how traditions are left behind. I think this picture is a reflection of our society. Ads are huge, selling all kinds of products which are result of different kinds of scientific development.
