EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Russell Lee showcases the Llano de San Juan Catholic Church in New Mexico, taken during the 1940s. The adobe architecture of this American church stands proudly against the rustic countryside backdrop, reflecting a deep connection to its rural surroundings. With its bell tower reaching towards the sky and wooden crosses dotting the cemetery, it exudes a sense of spirituality and heritage. The image captures not only the physical beauty of this place but also conveys a deeper concept of faith and mortality. The entrance gate welcomes visitors into a realm where Christianity thrives amidst nature's embrace. As one gazes at this still image, they can almost feel transported back in time to experience rural life in mid-20th century America. Russell Lee's masterful use of color adds depth and richness to every element within the frame - from the vibrant red bricks that make up parts of the structure to the earthy tones of mudbrick walls. This photograph was part of Lee's work for Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), documenting various aspects of American life during that era. Preserved by Library Congress, this piece serves as an invaluable historical record showcasing religious devotion intertwined with architectural marvels found across our country. It reminds us that even amid changing times, places like Llano de San Juan continue to stand tall as symbols of faith and cultural heritage in rural America.
