This mural was done by a great artist Diego Rivera. Diego Rivera grew up in Mexico in a middle class family. As a child he loved to draw, he would draw anywhere any time. His parents saw that he loved to draw so he went to art school. He was a good artist living in middle class he was good at capturing everyday things. In his 20’s he wanted to get better so he decided to go to Europe to expand his knowledge and his artistic skills. There in Europe he was doing great he captured the European artist style. When he returned back home to Mexico and he continued doing his art he realized that his art didn’t have a Mexican feel to it, so he changed it around and added his own feel to it. This made his work very special. Soon he was a successful artist and his work was being bought in every museum. It took Diego a couple weeks to realize that his art couldn’t be enjoyed by the poor, so then he decided to do murals and he drew murals all around Mexico.

            In the picture I have chosen it shows I factory. The museum asked Diego to do in a museum in Detroit. This picture is about industry working people and the struggle. It is like a timeline it shows a on the bottom all the men lining up for work and the main center them all working in a cramped enclosed place.  

            I love this picture it shows struggle some of us American and well, all people and when I saw this picture it kind of reminded me how so many people are working together to get me to live a good and happy live even my parents who work real had to. I am glad that we have safer better factories now than we did before and now. He was a very nice man he always remembered the poor and wanted them to enjoy his art.
