Three Depresion-Era Photographers in Utah
Dorothea Lange (b. New Jersey, 1895 – d. San Francisco, 1965), Russell Lee (b. Ottawa, Illinois 1903 – d. Austin, Texas 1986), and Arthur Rothstein (b. 1915, New York – d. 1985, New Rochelle, New York) are the three photographers who were hired by the Farm Security Administration to document rural Utah in the late 1930s. The portraits of agricultural workers and their families, and the land that they worked, provide a unique picture of Utah’s rural past.
