EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the bean fields near West Stayton, Marion County, Oregon. Titled "Possibly: Bean pickers at harvest time" this image captures a poignant moment during the Great Depression era in America. In the foreground of the photograph, we see a group of bean pickers who have traveled all the way from South Dakota to find work. Their tired faces and worn-out clothing tell stories of hardship and struggle. Lange's lens beautifully portrays their resilience amidst economic turmoil. The vast farmland stretches out behind them, symbolizing both hope and despair. The field represents an opportunity for employment but also highlights the harsh realities faced by migrant workers during this challenging period in history. Lange's composition skillfully combines elements of documentary photography with artistic expression. Her ability to capture raw emotions through her lens is evident as she sheds light on poverty-stricken rural life. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the profound impact that historical events such as economic recession can have on individuals and communities alike. Dorothea Lange's contribution to heritage art continues to serve as a visual reminder of our shared past while urging us to reflect on issues still prevalent today.
