EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "WOMAN IN FIELD, 1935" transports us back to a significant era in American history. Taken by the talented photographer Ben Shahn in Pulaski County, Arkansas, it captures the essence of life for African Americans during the early 20th century. In this image, we see a strong and resilient woman standing proudly amidst a vast cotton field. Her hand rests confidently on her hip as she gazes into the distance with determination. The wide-brimmed hat she wears shields her face from the scorching sun, symbolizing both protection and resilience. The backdrop of this photograph tells an important story of poverty and struggle that many faced during this time period. As part of the Farm Security Administration's efforts to document rural America during the Great Depression, Shahn's lens sheds light on the harsh realities experienced by those living in southern states like Arkansas. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of both the strength and vulnerability embodied by African Americans in their fight for equality and justice. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's complex history while honoring those who persevered against all odds. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical treasure from their collection so that future generations can reflect upon its significance.
