EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ILLINOIS: GROCERY STORE" takes us back to the year 1940 in Salem, Illinois. Renowned American photographer Arthur Rothstein skillfully combines oil painting techniques with a photograph, creating a unique and striking image that captures the essence of this era. The scene depicts an exterior view of a bustling grocery store, showcasing the everyday life during the Great Depression. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) played a crucial role in providing relief to struggling communities like Salem through its New Deal programs. This photograph serves as a testament to their efforts. As we peer through the storefront window, we see women diligently shopping for food items while conversing with each other. Their presence reflects the resilience and strength of middle-class families who were determined to provide for their loved ones despite challenging circumstances. Rothstein's composition skillfully highlights not only these resilient customers but also emphasizes the importance of affordable prices during this time period. The supermarket shelves are well-stocked with various products, offering hope and sustenance amidst economic hardship. Overall, this print encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary people faced adversity head-on during one of America's most challenging periods - all within the walls of an unassuming grocery store in Salem, Illinois.
