EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Home of white tenant farmer family, Newport, Oklahoma," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937 during the Great Depression. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the rural life of the United States during this economically challenging time. The photograph features a simple, wooden farmhouse, surrounded by a weathered fence and farmyard. Chickens peck at the ground, and a gate stands open, inviting a view into the home's humble interior. The house, with its timber frame and rustic exterior, appears worn and aged, reflecting the hardships faced by the family who resides within. The porch, with its worn bedstead and faded bedspread, offers a glimpse into the family's living quarters. The entrance to the house is framed by the doorway and the trees in the background, drawing the viewer's attention to the heart of the home. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rural poverty that was prevalent during the Great Depression and the resilience of those who endured it. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photographs, including this one, are an important part of the heritage art movement and continue to provide insight into the historical and social context of the time.
