EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Malone, a small town nestled in Grays Harbor County, Western Washington. The image showcases what appears to be company houses of a closed mill, now predominantly occupied by Works Projects Administration (WPA) workers. Lange's lens skillfully captures the essence of this rural community during a time marked by economic hardship - the Great Depression. As we observe these modest houses standing against the backdrop of an idyllic countryside, we are reminded of the profound impact that industrial decline had on countless American families. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both struggle and resilience. Lange's composition invites us to reflect upon the consequences of economic downturns on communities far removed from bustling cities. It is through her lens that we witness not only physical structures but also glimpses into lives affected by poverty and recession. As we delve deeper into this still image frozen in time, it becomes evident that Lange's work extends beyond mere documentation; it is political art at its finest. Through her masterful use of light and shadow, she sheds light on regionalism and social issues prevalent during this era. This remarkable piece from Dorothea Lange stands as a testament to her enduring legacy as one of America's most influential photographers.
