Zapatistas was painted by a Mexican painter Jose Clemente Orozco on 1931. This painting shows a bunch of people including men and women heading toward somewhere. This painting caught my attention while visiting MAMO. Due to its influence the of sadness.
To me this painting seems pretty ironic. That there only three color shown on people’s clothing’s; white, blue, and red. It seems like they were heading to a battle, but the men’ clothing seems like they are pretty relaxed. Another thing is that wearing white clothing to a battle, pretty funny and without any protection on them, but handling sharp weapons. Also, a men with pure white clothing that claiming on the ground. White represents innocent, however, it was wore on a slavery, comparing to others, he does seems like a slavery or a begger. Could it mean the poorest or the people in the lower class is more innocent since all the others is something of covered by red, the color of madness and blood. Which can represent their personality and their desire or wanting battle. To me it represent the innocent and lower class were the beaten ones.
