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. The artist of any work retains all rights to that work. Copyright has not been assigned to the Regents of the University of California.
