Art Journal 8-25-11 "Semeadores" by Diego Rivera

S-Labor
O-1950's and 1960's increase in cheap strenuous labor
A- those involved in industries relying on cheap labor
P-to convince people that physical labor should not be so cheap
S-Diego Rivera, Nationality- Mexican (communist supporter)
Tone- Sad, Depressing

Main Point: Physical Labor should be more expensive due to the straining effect it has on the workers.

Artistic Elements:
1. Positioning- The person in the right of the piece is in bending forward position. The line of his back is made to look as if it were a twig about to snap.
2. Subject- The two workers seem to blend into the landscape and their work. They don't stand out as much.
