Oil and tempera on Masonite
In 1935 Albert M. Bender asked Rivera to select a work of art for the new San Francisco Museum of Art (Now SFMOMA). Rivera’s choice, The Flower Carrier , is a rhythmic, powerful image of peasants at work. As in many of Rivera’s depictions of Mexican campesinos, or agricultural workers, the painting conveys underlying Marxist convictions and a sympathetic respect for manual labor. Though the workers are heavily burdened, they are painted with a sculptural solidity that lends them a monumental dignity. One may interpret then as idealized representatives of their class, in harmony with each other and with the natural world.
