EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print by Dorothea Lange captures the harsh realities faced by migratory fruit pickers at a camp in Farmington, California in 1936. The image depicts a scene of poverty and displacement during the Great Depression, as families are forced to live in makeshift homes alongside their cars.
Lange's keen eye for capturing human emotion is evident in this photograph, as she documents the struggles of children and adults alike who have been uprooted from their homes in search of work. The stark contrast between the luxury automobiles parked next to these humble dwellings serves as a poignant reminder of the economic disparities that existed during this time.
As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration, Lange sought to shed light on the plight of those affected by forced migration and economic hardship. This image stands as a testament to her commitment to social justice and documenting American history through photography.
Through this photograph, viewers are transported back to a moment in history when millions were left homeless and destitute due to economic recession. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who persevered through such challenging times.
