This is a powerful oil painting from 1936, painted by Alexandre Hogue to protest the devastation of the Dust Bowl. It shows a parched, desolate landscape, but the forms of the eroded earth are deliberately shaped to resemble a naked, human-like female torso. The undulating hills mimic the curves of a body—hence the title, "Mother Earth Laid Bare." In the foreground, a broken, abandoned plow lies like a weapon across the "body" of the land, symbolizing man's harmful violation and overworking of nature. The colors are dominated by the dry, reddish-brown tones of the exposed, ruined soil, emphasizing the raw, barren, and unforgiving state of the earth.

"Erosion No. 2—Mother Earth Laid Bare"
Artist: Alexandre Hogue American, 1936 Oil on canvas
