Title
Death Of A Farmworker
Creator
Description
Mural on column #G-46, Chicano Park depicting a human hand, left, and an agricultural tool, right, both grabbing onto either teeth of a gear or the rays of the sun. Between the human and the machine is the quote from Emiliano Zapata: "La Tierra es de Quien La Trabaja Con Sus Propias Manos." These images are at the top of the column. Underneath are a mountain and a produce truck driving toward the vanishing point on a field. Just under this is a strike scene that has resulted in the death of a striker. Rufino Contrevas under this scene, a seemingly peaceful scene of cultivation. It is not truly peaceful because the harvesters are chained to boxes containing produce. This mural shows deterioration. A fenced garden is in front of the mural.
