"Semadores" by: Diego Rivera

I believe the subject of the painting is the hard work of farming in the older Hispanic countries. The occasion of this painting seems to be in a Hispanic country (most likely Mexico) around early to middle 1900's. The audience of this painting most likely the middle to lower working class people. The purpose of the painting is to show the toil and hardship of not only farming but all the tough jobs the lower class take to make ends meet. The speaker is Diego Rivera. The tone of this painting is positive out of respect to the hardworking people all over the world. The artist wanted the audience to think about the hard work and toil of the harvest. He used a strenuous stretchy type of stroke which emphasized stress, also darker and neutral colors. The workers are also positioned away. The style as I mentioned is unrealistic and stressed.
