Indepth Arts News:
"The Art of Humane Propaganda"
2001-05-05 until 2001-09-02
Columbus Museum of Art
Columbus, OH,
USA United States of America
The objective of the Farm Security Administrations (FSA)
photographic project was to make the public aware of the
deplorable conditions imposed by the Great Depression on
rural areas and to support progressive agricultural programs
of the Roosevelt administration. The works produced for the
FSA by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Russell Lee, among
other equally notable photographers, established the visual
record of the late 1930s in America.
This exhibition brings
together 44 vintage prints, on loan from the Ohio State
University, together with earlier examples by American
social documentary photographer Lewis Hine. Hines work,
on loan from the George Eastman House International
Museum of Photography and Film, serves as a pre-history
to the iconic images of the FSA.
