Movement

Movement-What’s happening right now. Almost every where you go there is a talk or protest about movement. Diego Rivera caught a great connection of this in his Frozen Assets Mural. Relating the mural to what is happening right now with the Occupy Movement. The mural shows how from way back then till now in 2011 the “99%” are still struggling to have it a little easier. The murals middle section shows a large group of people sleeping and being watched by a body guard. That part reminds me of the protest in front of the federal reverse bank. There are about 30+ protesters in the front camping and a couple guards standing, watching, Trying to keep order. During the depression (when the mural was made) the top city part of the mural still shows growth with the construction, and large buildings. The Last section shows a volt and a women inside checking what her wealth is. Middle part shows the poor sleeping in a shelter. Right now in 2011 there is a war going on, “We can fund a war but cant feed the poor”-Unknown. Part of the Occupy Movement is how the Government doesn’t support the middle class. People are losing there homes and unemployment rites are increasing. We are in a war and we aren’t even thinking what our country is going towards. The two of them compare well, its like Rivera captured both events in one thing.
