EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Russell Lee, we are transported back to the year 1940 in Pie Town, New Mexico. The image showcases Bill Stagg, a hardworking homesteader, standing proudly in front of his rustic barn. This snapshot captures the essence of rural life in America during the mid-20th century. Bill Stagg's weathered face and sturdy posture reflect the resilience and determination required to thrive as a farmer in those times. His trusty horse and mule stand beside him, symbolizing their integral role in his daily work on the land. The wooden barn behind them stands as a testament to years of laborious effort and craftsmanship. Lee's use of color adds depth and richness to this still image, allowing us to appreciate every detail - from the vibrant reds of Bill's shirt contrasting against the earthy tones of his surroundings, to the natural timber textures that make up his barn. This photograph not only documents an individual but also represents an era defined by regionalism and self-sufficiency. It serves as a reminder of our nation's agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping it. As we gaze upon this piece from Heritage Art at Library of Congress' collection, we are reminded that behind every great country lies countless stories like Bill Stagg's – tales woven into its very fabric by hardworking individuals who shaped America with their hands and hearts.
