Description
This artwork is titled revolution to describe the life of Mexican peasant and the struggling class. This image shows the inequality and human suffering. For example, there is a man carrying what seems to be an older woman. The image shows how much Mexican people cares about their family. It shows how they will struggle and suffer to be bring anyone they love to safety and for them survive. All of the people walking, seem to be sad or distressed. This is due to the fact they have to survive from the aftermath of the revolutionary war. The commission shows individuals marching with guns and prepared to face anything that causes them trouble.
