Art Analysis 1

In this art piece he uses the technique of Italian futurism. Many of his paintings such as this usually have a main focus as to how the past, present, and future of the Mexican revolution is affecting its people. In the painting Echo of a Screams, he places a baby in the middle as a way to show how the revolution is affecting innocent victims. Siqueiros also a place the baby in a background that has a lot of rubble to show how the destruction the revolution is causing. While in the background it shows a tree that is the very far back that could represent hope for the future but its still to early for that to happen. One important aspect about his paintings was that he used vivid colors such as this painting. Evidence of this is that the baby in the painting is painted a gold color and the baby’s clothes is some bright red this was done because the baby is meant to be the first object people see. Also the rest of the piece has some dark colors which represent the dark times the revolution was in.
