EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "SHARECROPPER, c1935" transports us back to a significant period in American history. The image captures Bud Fields, a sharecropper, as he sits amidst his cotton patch in Hale County, Alabama. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans during the years 1935-36, this portrait offers an intimate glimpse into the life of a hardworking man during the Great Depression. Fields' weathered face tells a story of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. His clothing is worn and dirty from long hours spent laboring in the fields. A hat rests on his head to shield him from the scorching sun that beats down upon him while he tends to his crops. The photograph's composition highlights both Fields' profile and his surroundings - an expansive rural landscape stretching out behind him. This juxtaposition emphasizes not only his individual struggle but also reflects the broader challenges faced by working-class Americans during this era. Evans masterfully captures the essence of poverty and hardship through this powerful image. It serves as a poignant reminder of how economic turmoil can impact individuals and communities alike. "SHARECROPPER, c1935" stands as a testament to human resilience amidst challenging times while shedding light on an important chapter in American history – one marked by poverty, perseverance, and ultimately hope for brighter days ahead.
