EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Escalante People, Utah," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936 during her documentation of the Great Depression in the United States. The image portrays a group of elderly residents of Escalante, a small rural community located in Garfield County, Utah. The scene is set before a row of weathered houses, their windows and doors open, revealing a glimpse into the simple interiors of these homes. The photograph captures the resilience and determination of these individuals, who, despite the harsh economic realities of the time, continue to carry on with their daily lives. The elderly woman in the foreground, with her wrinkled face and worn clothing, gazes directly at the camera with a quiet strength and dignity. The man, seated next to her, appears thoughtful and introspective, while the other figures in the background engage in various tasks. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured over 16,000 images during her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document the effects of the Great Depression on rural communities. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time in American history when the country was deeply affected by economic hardship and the struggle for survival. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection and serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the human spirit during times of adversity.
