About the Item
Owen Weiri (also Wiiri, 1916-1974) was a Finnish-American who served in the Spanish Civil War and then, during World War ll, in the American armed forces as a marine.
Industrial subjects, and coal mining in particular, hold endless fascination for many and me in particular. The man shown here is so many things. Most importantly he has a job. After the Depression, and then the war, once again employment equalled dignity. But this man is world-weary. He is glancing away as though he knows it's a dirty and dangerous occupation from which few emerged unscathed. The space behind him is frightening void. Is he emerging from it into the daylight or escaping the gloom?
It is signed, titled, and dated, in pencil.
