    DOROTHEA LANGE (1895–1965)

    Est: €800 - €1,200

    DOROTHEA LANGE (1895–1965) | 'Dust bowl Exodus' (Drought Refugees), California 1936 Image Size: 16.7 x 23.8 cm English Gelatin silver print, printed in the 1960s on single-weight glossy paper, in good condition (creases on the upper image). Photographer's credit by an unidentified hand, printer's credit stamp "FSA 9328C BY DOROTHEA LANGE 1936/HOE CULTURE, ALABAMA, PRINTED BY BERKEY K & L CUSTOM SVCES. INC., 222 E.44th ST. NEW YORK 10017" (due to cropping the last line "UNDER SUPERVISION OF ARTHUR ROTHSTEIN" is missing) on the reverse. Coinciding with the Great Depression was the "Dust Bowl", an eco-disaster created through a combination of drought and damaging agricultural practices. Following the large-scale destruction of prairie grass for wheat cultivation, the farmers' land was literally blown away, forcing families from Nebraska to Texas to migrate. Dorothea Lange and her husband Paul S. Taylor documented the very start of the mass migration to California. In November 1936 Dorothea photographed 28 cars of drought refugees within a quarter of an hour between Bakersfield and Famoso. * Fully Taxed * subject to resale right Deutsch Silbergelatineabzug, geprintet in den 1960ern auf dünnem, glänzendem Papier, in gutem Zustand (Knicke am oberen Bildrand). Rückseitig Credit der Fotografin von unbekannter Hand mit Bleistift, Stempel "FSA 9328C BY DOROTHEA LANGE 1936/HOE CULTURE, ALABAMA/PRINTED BY BERKEY K & L CUSTOM SVCES. INC./222 E.44th ST. NEW YORK 10017" (durch Beschnitt des Blattes fehlt die letzte Zeile "/UNDER SUPERVISION OF ARTHUR ROTHSTEIN"). Zur Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise kam es in den USA zur "Dust Bowl", einer Umweltkatastrophe, die durch eine Kombination aus Dürre und fehlgeleiteter Landwirtschaft verursacht wurde. Nach der großflächigen Vernichtung von Präriegras für den Weizenanbau wurde das Land der Bauern buchstäblich weggeweht, was Familien von Nebraska bis Texas zur Abwanderung nötigte. Dorothea Lange und ihr Ehemann Paul S. Taylor dokumentierten den Beginn der Massenmigration nach Kalifornien. Im November 1936 fotografierte Lange innerhalb einer Viertelstunde 28 vollbepackte Autos von Dürreflüchtlingen auf dem U.S. Highway 99 zwischen Bakersfield und Famoso. * Vollbesteuert * folgerechtspflichtig
