Mervin Jules‘ Dust is one of the most powerful commentaries of the Dust Bowl era. In this work, we see a tractor—supposed to be the salvation of the overworked farmer—sitting unused in fields so overworked that they had nothing left to give.
This print was produced in an edition of 30, of which three or more of the prints are held in museums (including the National Gallery of Art, the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Northwestern University, and La Salle University Art Museum).
