EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a view of company-owned houses in Consumers, near Price, Utah in 1936. The image, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, showcases the stark reality of life in a Utah coal town.
The rows of identical houses stand as a testament to the industrial nature of the area, with smokestacks and timber structures visible in the background. The snow-covered landscape adds to the sense of isolation and hardship faced by residents living in this company-owned housing.
Lange's keen eye for capturing emotion and storytelling through her photographs is evident in this powerful image. The composition draws viewers into the scene, prompting reflection on economic struggles and societal challenges faced during that time period.
As part of Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration, this photograph serves as both a historical document and a piece of art that continues to resonate with audiences today. It offers a glimpse into a specific moment in American history while also highlighting broader themes such as industry, economics, and social inequality.
Overall, this print is not just an image but a window into another world - one that invites contemplation on past hardships and resilience in the face of adversity.
