EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "OKLAHOMA: FARMHOUSE, 1936" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases a farm in Cimarron County, Oklahoma during the Great Depression era. Photographed by Arthur Rothstein, this snapshot captures the resilience and resourcefulness of farmers during one of the most challenging times in our nation's history. In this particular scene, we see a farmhouse with its barn roof removed. This unconventional modification was made to create a windbreak for a garden on the property. As dust storms ravaged the region due to severe drought and erosion caused by poor farming practices, farmers had to adapt quickly to protect their crops from further devastation. The starkness of the landscape is evident as we observe barren fields stretching into the distance. A lone cow grazes nearby, symbolizing both sustenance and survival amidst adversity. Through Rothstein's lens, we witness not only physical structures but also an intangible spirit - one that refuses to succumb to despair despite overwhelming challenges. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's collective struggle during this time period while highlighting individual stories of perseverance within communities like Cimarron County. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in overcoming even the harshest circumstances. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical print as an opportunity for viewers today to reflect upon our shared past and draw inspiration from those who came before us.
