ESSAY ON: Photographer Lewis Hine

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: This is a 3 page paper discussing the photography and the social issues addressed by Lewis Hine. Photographer Lewis Wickes Hine (1874-1940) was not only a photographer who achieved a certain artistry within his photographs but also addressed important social issues regarding humanity in the first half of the 20th century. Through his insightful images of the immigrants on Ellis Island at the turn of the century, the child laborers across the country, the devastating human aspects of World War I and the building of the Empire State Building during the Great Depression, Hine managed to open a nation’s eyes to the humanist concerns important within an industrial society which values its luxury but often has little regard for the human price to be paid in the production of such luxury. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
