EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Music Lessons, 1940" we are transported back in time to a small homestead in Pie Town, New Mexico. The image beautifully captures the essence of daily life during the Great Depression era. A homesteader's wife takes on the role of a music teacher, imparting her knowledge and passion for music to eager young students. In her humble home, adorned with simple furnishings and personal touches, she creates an inviting space for learning and self-expression. The scene is filled with musical instruments that reflect the diversity of her teachings - from an accordion to a glockenspiel and even a xylophone. A boy attentively plays the piano while a girl concentrates on producing melodious sounds from her glockenspiel. The room resonates with harmonious melodies as these budding musicians immerse themselves in their lessons. Photographed by Russell Lee in 1940 as part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image not only showcases the power of music but also serves as a testament to resilience during challenging times. It reminds us that amidst hardship, art can flourish and bring joy into people's lives. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection, allowing us to appreciate history through visual storytelling. Let us cherish this snapshot frozen in time – an ode to both music education and human spirit alike.
