EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of newly reclaimed bench land, Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon, 1939" captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression. Created by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this image showcases the resilience and determination of American farmers in the face of economic hardship. The photograph depicts a vast expanse of recently reclaimed farmland stretching out towards the horizon. In the foreground stands Emmett Smith, a farmer who "took his place out of the bush 3 years ago". His presence symbolizes hope and progress amidst adversity. The farm in the background adds depth to the composition while emphasizing human intervention in transforming nature's raw beauty into productive agricultural land. Lange's masterful use of photography enhances both texture and contrast within this still image. The simplicity and rustic charm evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when life revolved around hard work on these remote plains. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded not only of our nation's history but also its enduring spirit. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even during times of recession or depression, there is always potential for growth and renewal – both in our landscapes and within ourselves.
