    The two murals I chose were both painted by Diego Rivera around the same time period between 1923 and 1947 with the first, “Liberation of the Peon being painted in 1923 and the second “dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park” being painted from 1946-47. “Emiliano Zapata’s aim was to bring about agrarian reform and freedom to the poor and working class citizens.

That predetermined judgement came from just observing his suit, which was incredibly.
