Texas artist’s photo essays
document Depression era
By Hal L. Hammons
Reporter
The work of Texas photographer
Russell Lee is on display this month
at the gallery in the Langford Ar
chitecture Center.
The exhibit opened Sept. 1, four
days after Lee died at 83 after an ex
tended battle with cancer.
Lee, who was a resident of Austin,
is honored in “A Russell Lee Portfo
lio: Early Texas Portraits,” a collec
tion of his photographs from the
Amarillo Art Center. The exhibit
can be seen until Oct. 8.
Accompanying the exhibit is a vi
deo documentary, “Photographer:
Russell Lee,” by Ann Mundy, who
was a close friend and former stu
dent of Lee at the University of
Texas Department of Art. A special
screening of the documentary will be
shown Sunday at 4 p.m.
Lee was best known for the six
years he worked for the Farm Secu
rity Administration during the Great
Depression.
In the video, Lee describes his dis-
satisfaction after taking hundreds of
photographs from roadsides and
front porches.
“I decided that perhaps the story
was inside the house,” he said. “Here
was the way people lived. How do
they eat? How do they sleep? . . . All
of these things were part of their
particular way of life, and I wanted
to get that.”
Lee said in an interview with the
Los Angeles Times, “Sometimes
people would ask me (when I was
photographing them during De
pression days), ‘Why do you take
these pictures?’ . . . And I would say,
‘You understand about the pictures
you have of your family. Well, I’m
taking pictures of you because you
are the history of today.’ ”
Lee referred to his many series of
photographs — ranging in scope
and subject from Texas politics to
Spanish-speaking Texans to re
tarded children — as “photo essays.”
The Tulsa Herald once editoria
lized, “(Lee’s) pictures are . . . artistry
in the best definition of the word.
But they are first of all a plain un
doctored record.
“The imagery is not always pleas
ant. There are pictures of sick chil
dren and miserable, homeless mi
grant farmers.
“But the accurate image of pov
erty and deprivation is offset by a
special kind of beauty and human
spirit in nearly all of the scenes and
faces. Call it grit. Russell Lee re
minds us that . . . the Depression
generation had plenty of it.”

Even today, there are still a few students
who don’t have an HP calculator.

Burning the midnight
oil may be necessary.
Burning the 2:00 or 3:00
or 4:00 AM oil is absurd.
Especially when an HP calculator can get the
answers you want — in time to get a good night’s
sleep.
For instance, our HP-15C Professional Scientific Calculator
has more built-in advanced math and statistical power than any
other calculator. Our HP-41 Advanced Scientific Calculators have
even more potential.

That’s because there are better than 2500 software packages
available for them —more than for any other calculator.
There’s even a special plug-in software package (we call it the
Advantage Module) that’s designed to handle the specific problems
an engineering student has to solve in his, or her, course work.
No wonder professionals in engineering and the physical sciences
widely regard HP calculators as the best you can get.
So check one out. Then, when your mother calls to ask if you’re
getting enough sleep, you won’t have to lie.
