EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "WEST VIRGINIA: HOME, 1935" offers a poignant glimpse into the life of an unemployed man in Morgantown, West Virginia during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans in July 1935 as part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image captures the interior of the man's humble abode. The composition reveals a room filled with sparse yet meaningful possessions. A sturdy rocking chair sits near a wooden table adorned with a simple vase holding wildflowers, perhaps offering solace amidst challenging times. A worn dresser stands against one wall, its mirror reflecting both light and hardship. The presence of a vanity suggests that despite adversity, personal care and dignity were still important to this individual. A striking feature is the staircase leading to an upper level - symbolic of upward mobility and aspirations that may have been put on hold due to economic circumstances. This image serves as a reminder of how deeply affected individuals were during this era and provides insight into their resilience amidst adversity. Evans' masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to each element within the frame, emphasizing both despair and hope simultaneously. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles faced by ordinary Americans during one of our nation's most challenging periods. "WEST VIRGINIA: HOME, 1935" encapsulates not only an intimate moment frozen in time but also represents Evans' dedication to documenting social realities through his lens
