Occupy Reality.

Occupy is a movement so strong in America during this finical crisis and Diego Rivera's Frozen Assets mural is a great depiction of art and reality behind our countries wealth. This piece draws many emotions with its somber feel and dim colors. Occupy is taking a stand for what they feel is right, them being the 99% of the population in a financial fall. Murals by Diego Rivera were done by him to evoke feelings and create deep thoughts; with the “Frozen Assets” mural he did a very good job of that. Rivera was a master at seeing a problem and being able to illustrate it. The now famous occupy movement has done a good job of showing the country that there is a serious finical equality problem and this movement has spurred thought in not only Americans but the world. Occupy camps are popping up all over the globe like, Occupy India, Occupy China and the infamous Occupy Oakland. Rivera’s work was something dear to his heart such as the people of Occupy and his work created a following as people began to understand the strong points and reasoning behind his hard work. Each passing day with these protest the occupy movement puts another staple in history just as Rivera had with his work and both with be everlasting and have changed our country.
