EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment in time during the Great Depression, where men are hard at work making adobe bricks for the construction of a new school building in Bosque Farms, New Mexico. The image, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1935, showcases the resilience and determination of individuals during a period of economic hardship.
In black and white, the photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia and historical significance. The men can be seen molding clay into bricks with their bare hands, showcasing traditional craftsmanship and manual labor. The rural setting adds to the rustic charm of the scene, highlighting the importance of community efforts in times of need.
Lange's keen eye for capturing human emotion is evident in this image as well. Despite facing adversity, the men appear focused and dedicated to their task at hand. Their expressions convey a sense of pride in contributing to something greater than themselves - the future education of children through the construction of a new school building.
Overall, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of perseverance and unity during challenging times. It stands as a testament to American resilience and ingenuity, captured beautifully by Dorothea Lange's timeless lens.
