EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to Yamhill County in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The image showcases Mr. Granger standing proudly in the doorway of his newly built barn. Clad in Powr House dungarees, he exudes a sense of resilience and determination. The photograph captures an era marked by economic hardship - the Great Depression. Lange's lens beautifully portrays the stark reality faced by farmers during this time, as they struggled to make ends meet amidst widespread poverty and unemployment. Mr. Granger's attire reflects both his occupation as a farmer and the prevailing fashion trends of that era. His bib overalls, commonly known as dungarees, were popular workwear for men engaged in industrial or agricultural labor. Lange's composition skillfully juxtaposes Mr. Granger against the rustic backdrop of Yamhill County, emphasizing his connection to the land and his role within it. The image serves as a poignant reminder of America's rural heritage and regionalism. This powerful portrait is part of Lange's extensive body of work documenting American life during this tumultuous period. It was captured under the auspices of Farm Security Administration (FSA) project aimed at providing relief to struggling farmers across the nation. As we gaze upon Mr. Granger through Lange's lens, we are reminded not only of one man’s resilience but also how photography can preserve moments from history that resonate with us even today.
