Home Town
€36.00
Photographs by Farm Security Photographers."For all practical purposes Home Town stands as Anderson's final statement of what he had found meaningful in a life marked by the rejection of many of the values of his time and the reaffirmation of others. Anderson's vision and prose provide the substance of this volume, but the included photographs give it a depth and a presence impossible for words alone." The b/w photos were provided by Roy Stryker of the Farm Security Administration and include work by Dorthea Lange, John Vachon, and Arthur Rothstein among others.
Home Town is a significant work from the 'Face of America' series, published in 1940. It combines reflective prose by author Sherwood Anderson with evocative photography captured by prominent members of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project. The volume serves as a nostalgic and detailed portrait of rural American life during the Great Depression era. It features notable contributions from photographers such as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, whose images provide visual depth to Anderson's literary exploration of small-town values and landscapes.
