Depression Era Photography
This exhibition features iconic, original photographs of the people and places of the Dust Bowl era on loan from the collection of the Amarillo Museum of Art. The unflinching images record the undeniable devastation of approximately 100,000,000 acres of land that rendered enormous stretches of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas uninhabitable and the resulting displaced people. With their farmland and crops ruined, the farmers who lived on America’s plains were forced to abandon their homesteads and migrate to California and neighboring states where they found safety from the dust storms but were often reduced to itinerant, wandering laborers searching for subsistence wages.
