14ème Printemps Photographique de Pomerol

Friday 21st March
The exhibition in the vineyard, Archives of the American ‘Great Depression

Thirty-three large-format panels installed in the Pomerol vineyards bear witness to the disastrous consequences of the great economic crisis that hit the United States from 1929 onwards, and which combined with the outbreak of the Second World War. Hired by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) - a federal agency headed by the economist Roy E. Stryker - a team of leading photographers was commissioned to criss-cross the country between 1935 and 1943 to rally American public opinion behind President Roosevelt's economic programme, the New Deal.
