The artwork titled “Untitled (Dan Dixon, Age 5). From the Series Day Sleeper” is created by the artist Dorothea Lange and falls under the photo genre. This piece is associated with the Social Realism art movement.
The artwork captures a black and white photograph of a young child, Dan Dixon, age five, lying asleep. The child is positioned horizontally within the frame and covered partially by a piece of cloth over the eyes, suggesting a serene and untroubled sleep. The texture of the fabric, the focus on the child’s relaxed features, and the play of light and shadow contribute to the evocative quality of the photograph.
