 Diego Rivera's "Peasants" 1947

This painting is by Diego Rivera. It was painted in 1947 and the painting diplays many aspects of SPRITE.  The social aspect on this painting is that ot shows peasants working, which is a daily part of their life. The political aspect probaly relates to the class position on which the peasants were in. They were at the bottom of society and were comprised of many. The religion aspect is a little difficult. The peasnts may be against the church, because they are usaually the landowners who exploit them in their work or they may be inclined to their religion, because it places rules on their morals and unites their people. The intellectual aspect is that these peasnats mainly didn't have such a high education, that is why they have such a low paying job. The technological aspect is that during the time of this painting, agricultural technology increased and so their lives may have benefited form, in that the peasants didn't have to supply all their power. the economic aspect is that the peasnts generally achive great revenue for their owners, but in reality their was a distinction in the amount they benefitted as they were usually payed low wages.
