€3.00
The story of the remarkable Roy Stryker and his amazing staff of photographers: Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, Ben Shahn, Russell Lee, Carl Mydans, Marion Post Wolcott, John Collier, Jr., Jack Delano, John Vachon, and others.
Portrait of a Decade explores the pivotal role of Roy Stryker in shaping American documentary photography during the 1930s. The work details how Stryker, through his leadership at the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Works Progress Administration (WPA), provided the resources and vision that enabled photographers to capture the social realities of the Great Depression. Forrest Jack Hurley analyzes the development of these photographic techniques and their lasting impact on the medium's history.
