His Arkansas Land
Five 7' high free-standing panels spanning 3' x 8'. One case. Must be picked up. 1980
His Arkansas Land portrays the development of Arkansas through the people whose livelihood depended on the land. Modern agriculture has drowned the farmer in its wake; yet, much of what we all uphold as the traditional values of self-reliance, hard work, family centeredness and human honesty seems tied to the fate of the small farm family. With photographs and commentary from the film study, the exhibit emphasizes these values and makes us wonder whether the small farm is merely a souvenir from long ago or a way of life we can ill afford to discard.
