"Black Man With Mule" is a notable photograph taken by the American photographer Doris Ulmann, who is renowned for her evocative portraits capturing the essence of rural America in the early 20th century. Ulmann, born in 1882 in New York City, initially pursued a career in education before turning her focus to photography. She studied under Clarence H. White, a key figure in the Pictorialist movement, which greatly influenced her style.

The photograph "Black Man With Mule" is emblematic of Ulmann's work, which often centered on documenting the lives and faces of people in the Southern United States, particularly those in the Appalachian region and the Gullah communities of South Carolina. Her subjects frequently included African Americans, Native Americans, and rural white populations, portrayed with a profound sense of dignity and respect.

Ulmann's approach to photography was deeply humanistic. She sought to capture the inner lives and inherent worth of her subjects, often using a large-format camera and platinum printing process to achieve a high level of detail and tonal richness. This technique allowed her to create images that were both intimate and timeless, emphasizing the textures and expressions that conveyed the character and resilience of her subjects.

"Black Man With Mule" is a striking example of Ulmann's ability to convey narrative through imagery. The photograph depicts an African American man standing beside a mule, a common sight in the agrarian South during the early 20th century. The composition and lighting of the photograph highlight the man's strong, weathered features and the sturdy, dependable nature of the mule, symbolizing the hard work and perseverance required in rural life.

Ulmann's work, including "Black Man With Mule," has been celebrated for its ethnographic significance and artistic merit. Her photographs serve as a valuable historical record, offering insight into the lives of people who were often marginalized and overlooked in mainstream society. Today, her work is held in high esteem and is included in the collections of major institutions such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Library of Congress.
