The artwork entitled “From the Series Day Sleeper” by Dorothea Lange belongs to the Social Realism movement and falls within the genre of photography.
The artwork presents a stark landscape dominated by a group of tall, barren trees standing in an open field. The trees, stripped of most of their branches, seem to reach up to a sky that is partly obscured by a layer of mist, creating a somber and melancholic atmosphere. In the background, distant rolling hills and a faint outline of trees are visible, shrouded in fog, adding to the depth and mystery of the scene. The overall monochromatic tone accentuates the raw and gritty feel typical of Social Realism, reflecting the artist’s intent to capture the stark realities of her subject matter.
