"Semeadores" by Diego Rivera

Subject: The workers.
Occasion: Work being done in a field (most likely planting seeds).
Audience: The working class.
Purpose: To make the audience think about the work and situations certain people (in Mexico, specifically) were put in
Speaker: Mexicans in the working labor.
Tone: Sad, negative mood, miserable to work.

I think that the meaning and the theme of the painting has to do with what people went through in Mexico and how hard they worked. I think the artist wanted us to see what certain people (Mexicans in specific) had to go through to get money to survive. The dark colors and negative light indicates a negative mood. The work shown in the painting is a continuous cycle and process, which the artist showed by using wavy, curvy lines that seem to make everything flow together.The characters in the painting seem to blend into the background so that no distinct features or characteristics are portrayed. I think the point of this was to show the unhappiness and how unimportant they seem in their position and what the workers have been put through.  This is obviously something that the artist is unhappy with. With the light, lines, and colors, he is trying to show us how he does not agree with the type of work these people had to do and what we should be aware of.
