EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the resilience and innocence of children during a challenging era. Titled "Bean pickers children came from Kansas, Nebraska. . . near West Stayton, Marion County, Oregon" this image captures the essence of rural life in America during the Great Depression. In this poignant scene, a group of boys can be seen leaning against an old car parked amidst the vast countryside. Their worn-out clothes and bare feet reflect their humble upbringing as they play together with carefree abandon. The dilapidated car serves as a symbol of both transportation and shelter for these families who migrated from various states including Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, California, and Missouri to find work picking beans in Oregon. Dorothea Lange's masterful composition not only documents the economic hardships faced by these families but also highlights their strength and unity. Through her lens, she captures a moment frozen in time that speaks volumes about perseverance in times of adversity. As one gazes at this photograph print displayed on their wall or desk space today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and the human spirit's ability to endure even during the darkest times. It is an evocative piece that invites contemplation on themes such as poverty, regionalism, childhood innocence amidst struggle – all while honoring Lange's remarkable contribution to American photography.
