Description
-
This artwork describes the lives of men losing their job due to the war. The men look sad and hopeless, unsure of what to do now. One figure has two hands completely covering their face which shows how devastated and stresses out they are. The war caused many issues among the Mexican peasants. It caused emotional trauma and as well as loss of their daily lives. However, they still look lost and sad, having no idea what to do about their issue.
