EDITORS COMMENTS
OKLAHOMA: FARM, 1937. A haunting glimpse into the desolation of the Great Depression era, this photograph by Dorothea Lange transports us to an abandoned farm in Southwest Oklahoma. Taken in June 1937, amidst a backdrop of poverty and drought that plagued the region during the Dust Bowl years, Lange's lens captures both the physical decay and quiet resilience of rural America. The image reveals a dilapidated farmhouse standing alone against an expansive horizon. Its weathered exterior tells tales of hardship endured by its former inhabitants. The surrounding landscape is barren, as if nature itself has succumbed to despair. Yet, amidst this desolation stands a windmill - a symbol of hope and perseverance for those who once called this place home. Lange's skillful composition draws our attention to every detail - from the decaying building to the sturdy fence that once protected it. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the impact of economic turmoil on everyday lives. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of past struggles but also of human strength and determination during times of adversity. It stands as a testament to both Lange's artistic prowess and her commitment to documenting social issues through her work. As we gaze upon this print today, let us reflect on how far we have come since those challenging days while acknowledging that there is still much work ahead.
