Description
Dorothea Lange: Seeing People explores the photographer's groundbreaking work in portraiture and documentary practice. Through new research, the authors examine Lange's roots in studio portraiture and demonstrate how her influential photographs addressed issues of identity and social inequality. Lange's sensitive portraits of marginalized people, including Indigenous individuals, striking workers, migrant farmers, rural African Americans, Japanese Americans, and those she met while traveling abroad, showcase the common humanity that defined her subjects. This book sheds new light on Lange's work, highlighting its continued relevance in today's society. Published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this book is a valuable addition to any collection or for anyone interested in photography, art history, and social justice.
