Marion Post Wolcott

Unlike her contemporary Dorthea Lange, Marion Post Wolcott (1910-1990) is less known today for her socially conscious images of the Depression era. She was employed by the Farm Security Administration to document rural life, so her shots aren’t all soup kitchens and bread lines. We also see Americans still hard art work (though earning very little), children at play, men playing cards, and jitterbug dancers at a social. Unlike Lange’s Dust Bowl refugees, these aren’t portraits of despair. But rather: studies in quiet endurance. BRIAN MILLER
