Diego Rivera

S- A man plowing a field with the man behind him planting seeds.
O- Rivera was observing laborers in Mexico.
A- Those outside the working class.
P- To show the plight of the worker.
S- Diego Rivera is a Mexican communist who often paints workers to share a communist message.
Tone- He sees the work as harsh and feels that the workers are shamed by society.

Diego wanted to show the harsh nature of the work being done, so he placed the body of the man plowing in an awkward position that shows the struggle. He also the low society level of the workers because they are both looking down and the worker plowing has his face completely covered.
