"Semeadores" by Diego Rivera

1.
S- two farmers working in a field
O- time- early 20th century; place- Mexico
A- higher class people
P- to show how difficult and grueling farm labor is
S- Mexican communist
T- the tone is very dull and lifeless, with the farmers looking like they are part of the field

2. The main theme of the painting is to show the higher class people how hard the lower class works to sustain them. The farmers have no faces and look like they are becoming part of the land in order to show how much farm labor consumes most of these workers' lives.
