"Semeadores" by Diego Rivera

S-struggle over labor
O-1950's- 1960's
A-Those in Mexico in Favor of Capitalism, or those for communism
P-to persuade people against capitalism
S-Diego Rivera, a painter
T- Sympathetic

I thought that Diego Rivera was trying to say how strenuous and hard life can be, and how sometimes you have to "bend over backwards" to get stuff done and perservere. I thought he backed this up by using all black to represent the sky, to show the dark times they were in. The position of the worker leaning over on the shovel, showing how hard the work is. By using certain colors and positioning, it helped express his theme better.
