- Summary
- "The more than 100 prints in this exhibition represent only a fraction of the approximately 3,000 photographs taken in Ohio for the FSA, yet they provide a synopsis of the work done in Ohio, revealing the nature of the specific assginments and reflecting the individual styles of the photographers. These photographs provide, for the present, a vision of life in Ohio in the waning years of the Deprssion. They remind us that, while prices have changed, social interaction in a small town has not. They suggest that, compared to conditions in the South, in the Oklahoma Dustbowl, and among migrant laborers in California, the poverty in Ohio was neither as intense nor as pervasive. These photographs represent only a fraction of a limitless reality; nevertheless, unique and unparalleled insights lie within this visual microcosm"--Page 7.
