EDITORS COMMENTS
FARM BOY, 1940 captures a poignant moment in American history, depicting the resilience and determination of a child growing up amidst the hardships of the Great Depression. This powerful photograph showcases a young boy seated at a modest table in southeast Missouri, his denim overalls serving as a reminder of his humble origins. As the child of a former sharecropper, this farm boy represents countless others who faced economic adversity during this challenging era. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) documented such stories to raise awareness about poverty and advocate for government assistance through programs like the New Deal. In this image, we witness not only hunger but also hope on the face of this unidentified youngster. Despite their limited means, he manages to wear an infectious smile while enjoying his meal. The kitchen interior provides insight into their working-class lifestyle and emphasizes their connection to rural America. Photographed in August 1940 by an unknown artist from FSA, this print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It reminds us that even in times of hardship, there is still room for joy and optimism among those facing adversity. This portrait invites viewers to reflect on our shared past and consider how far we have come since then. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a reminder that every individual's story deserves recognition.
