"Semadores" SOAPSTone painting

S- workers cultivating a field and planting seeds.
O- in a field, working
A- the rich/higher class
P-expression
S- Diego Rivera
T- dark, mad, defeated

- The big idea for me seems to be to express (to the higher classes) the pain and struggle felt by the working class as they are cultivating and seeding the land. Rivera used mainly neutral colors in this painting. To me, that is used to help show the plainness and monotony of the job. Rivera's style also blends the workers into the landscape. the curves of the workers back follows the hillside and the workers feet are sunken into the ground.
