American Farmer
January 28 - May 8, 2021
American Farmer celebrates the living spirit of our heartland through the faces and voices of the
people who keep it alive. Featuring 45 color and black and white portraits in addition
to interviews with farmers from across the United States, American Farmer tells the inspiring stores of the stewards of this land.
When photographer Paul Mobley set out to capture the soul of our country’s farm communities,
he encountered an enduring rural culture that remains rooted in the principles of
tradition, family, integrity, and hard work. Crisscrossing the country from Alaska
to Florida, Mobley’s photographs show the geographic and cultural diversity of the
American farmer. His photographs are accompanied by anecdotes and memories of their
subjects.
American Farmer is a traveling exhibition organized by ExhibitsUSA.
