EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "OREGON: HIDE SCRAPING, 1939" captures a poignant moment in history. The image showcases a Native American woman from Oregon diligently scraping an animal hide. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, this snapshot provides a glimpse into the early years of the American New Deal era. The woman's focused expression and skilled hands reveal her expertise as she carefully works on the hide. Her traditional clothing reflects her cultural heritage, while also serving as a testament to the resilience of Native American communities during this time period. Lange's composition beautifully captures both the physical labor involved in hide scraping and the quiet strength exuded by this Native American worker. The photograph serves as a reminder of the often overlooked contributions made by marginalized communities throughout history. With its mid-century aesthetic and attention to detail, this print transports viewers back to turn-of-the-century Oregon. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared past and appreciate the rich diversity that has shaped America's cultural landscape. Whether displayed in homes or public spaces, this powerful image sparks conversations about identity, labor rights, and historical representation. It is not just a piece of art but also a visual narrative that invites viewers to delve deeper into America's complex history.
