| Abstract: | This Instructional Resource focuses on the photographic work of Mississippi artist Eudora Welty (1909-2001). Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for "The Optimist's Daughter," Welty lived most of her life in Jackson, Mississippi. She used photography as a way to create visual "snapshots" that fueled her successful writing career of award-winning short stories and novels. As a photographer, Eudora Welty transformed moments in Mississippi history into aesthetically significant works of art that became accessible to a wider audience. Photographs by Eudora Welty can be used during art classroom discussions as tangible evidence of material culture to better understand both individual experiences as well as broader sociopolitical issues of the history of the United States (Prown, 2001). |
