by Joseph B. EntinPublication Details

Examining images by photographers such as Weegee and Aaron Siskind and fiction by writers such as William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, Tillie Olsen, and Pietro di Donato, he argues that these artists drew attention to the country’s most vulnerable residents by using what he calls an “aesthetic of astonishment,” focused on startling, graphic images of pain, injury, and prejudice.

John Vachon’s America : Photographs And Letters From The Depression To World War II
Attribution
John Vachon ; edited, with introductory texts, by Miles OrvellPublication Details
BookUniversity of California Press2003Description
From 1936 to 1943, John Vachon traveled across America as part of the Farm Security Administration photography project, documenting the desperate world of the Great Depression and also the efforts at resistance–from strikes to stoic determination. Vachon nurtured a lifelong ambition to be a writer, and the intimate and revealing letters he wrote from the field to his wife back home reflect vividly on American conditions, on movies and jazz, on landscape, and on his job fulfilling the directives from Washington to capture the heart of America.

Documenting America, 1935-1943
Attribution
edited by Carl Fleischhauer and Beverly W. Brannan ; essays by Lawrence W. Levine and Alan TrachtenbergPublication Details
BookUniversity of California Press in association with the Library of Congress1988Description
Between 1935 and 1943, a group of photographers under the direction of Roy Emerson Stryker set out to photograph the United States for the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. While Levine explains how the pictures portray the complexity of life in the period, balancing scenes of Depression hard times with images of the pleasures of life, Trachtenberg analyzes the way in which viewers read photographs and the role of the government picture file that stands between the creation of the photographs and their use.
