Subject is two workers farming.
Occasion is the 1800's in Mexico on a farm.
Audience is identified easily by workers or laborers.
Purpose is to show the work these farmers do and how they are lower class. It is diverging from the idea of ideal communism.
Speaker believes in separating the classes because there will never be a perfect equal society, he is showing there will always be the lower class with the upper class. The farmers are the lower class, working hard for little money.
Tone shows a laborious and difficult attitude about farming while showing the lower class men are "just farmers" and don't mean much of anything.
The big idea the artist wants to make is the difficulty of labor and the separation of social classes. Diego lived in a time where communism was prevalent and the main idea of communism is equality. He is showing these lower class men doing hard work for upper class men and trying to show there will never be complete equality. He uses an abstract style of painting to show that we cannot relate to these workers because we are not in the same class as them. His brush stroke is very flowy and almost mixes the workers into the background, showing they are of little importance and would go almost unnoticed by people like us.
