EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Dorothea Lange captures a powerful scene in Lewis County, near Vader, Washington in 1939. The image showcases a bulldozer equipped with a grader blade forcefully pushing over a stubborn stump amidst the rustic countryside. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression, Lange masterfully portrays the economic struggles faced by rural communities during this challenging era. The stark contrast between the dark bulldozer and the surrounding landscape emphasizes both the physical force being exerted and the resilience of those living in these regions. The photograph serves as a poignant symbol of determination and progress as it depicts efforts to clear land for agricultural purposes. Lange's exceptional ability to capture raw emotions through photography is evident in this still image. Through her lens, she not only documents historical events but also sheds light on social issues such as poverty and recession that plagued America at that time. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece today, we are transported back to an important period in American history. It reminds us of our nation's resilience and resourcefulness during times of adversity while highlighting Lange's significant contribution to documentary photography.
