In the mid-1930s, the Farm Security Administration was established as a part of the New Deal. For ten years, the Information Division of the agency hired writers and photographers to provide press and educational information to the public. While photography was not the primary purpose of the F.S.A., its outstanding photography program is perhaps what the agency is best known for.
The New Mexico Museum of Art is currently showing the work of three FSA photographers in New Mexico – John Collier Jr., Jack Delano, and Russell Lee.
The exhibit will continue until June 4, 2010…and is well worth seeing! Learn more about the exhibit and view images HERE.
