Family Between Dallas and Austin, Texas, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph captured by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange. The image portrays a destitute family trying to make their way from South Texas to the Arkansas Delta in search of work in the cotton fields during the Great Depression. With no food and only three gallons of gas left in their car, the father is seen attempting to repair a flat tire while his three children look on. The family's clothing, consisting of denim bib overalls and worn dresses, speaks to their poverty and the harsh economic realities of the time. The father's expression conveys a sense of determination and resilience, as he acknowledges the difficult circumstances but remains hopeful. This powerful image, taken by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration, is a poignant reminder of the displacement and hardships faced by countless families during the Great Depression. The photograph is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the strength of family bonds in the face of adversity. The image is a valuable piece of American history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy and compassion in times of hardship. The photograph is a significant addition to the Heritage Art collection and is housed in the Library of Congress.
