EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Irrigated fields of Acala cotton seventy miles from Phoenix, Arizona," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s. The image offers a glimpse into the rural landscape of Arizona during the Great Depression, a time marked by economic hardship and widespread unemployment. The photograph showcases the vast, irrigated fields of Acala cotton, stretching out as far as the eye can see, with furrows neatly arranged in perfect perspective. The intricate irrigation system, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, delivers life-giving water to the parched land. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of agriculture in sustaining rural communities, even during challenging economic times. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photography during this period is renowned for its ability to capture the human spirit and the resilience of the American people in the face of adversity. The image is a powerful representation of the rural lifestyle, with its rustic charm and the vanishing point of the furrows leading the viewer's gaze into the vast expanse of the countryside. This photograph is a valuable heritage art piece, offering a unique perspective on a bygone era and the enduring spirit of American agriculture.
