Portrait Of Woman Standing With Broom And Mop In Front Of American Flag, 1942
African American cleaning woman Ella Watson standing with broom and mop in front of American flag, a reinterpretation of Grant Wood's "American Gothic" painting, by photographer Gordon Parks as part of Depression era survey for Farm Security Administration.
Gordon Park's classic photograph is an unquestionably powerful image. It is impossible not to be moved by this haunting commentary on injustice and inequality.
