Family Between Dallas and Austin, Texas, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange. The image portrays a destitute family of five, who have been displaced from their home in South Texas and are on their way to the Arkansas Delta in search of work in the cotton fields. The father, dressed in bib overalls and a denim shirt, is seen attempting to repair a flat tire on their old car, while his three children look on with concern. The family is penniless, with only three gallons of gas in their tank and no food. Despite their hardships, the father remains resilient, expressing his acceptance of life's challenges with the words, "It's tough but life's tough anyway you take it." The photograph is a powerful reminder of the Great Depression era in America, a time of economic hardship and forced displacement for millions of people. The image captures the essence of the era, with the family's worn clothing, the broken-down car, and the desolate landscape in the background. The photograph is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit and the determination to survive in the face of adversity. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. The photograph is now part of the permanent collection at the Library of Congress and is a significant piece of American heritage art, providing a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history.
