EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the essence of Jewish-American farm mother, Mrs. Cohen, in Hightstown, New Jersey in 1936. As the wife of the farm manager, she exudes strength and resilience during a time of economic hardship - the Great Depression.
Dorothea Lange's keen eye for capturing raw emotion is evident in this portrait of Mrs. Cohen amidst the rural countryside backdrop. Her full-length figure stands tall in a field, symbolizing her dedication to her role as an agricultural worker during challenging times.
The image reflects not only Mrs. Cohen's heritage and faith but also her commitment to providing for her family through hard work on the farm. The details captured by Lange showcase the reality of life for many Americans during this era - a testament to perseverance and determination.
As part of Lange's collection for the Farm Security Administration, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in American history. It speaks volumes about the impact of economic recession on individuals like Mrs. Cohen who continued to labor tirelessly to make ends meet.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back to a time when rural life was synonymous with hard work and sacrifice. Mrs. Cohen's story is one that resonates with us today as we reflect on our own struggles and triumphs in overcoming adversity.
