Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) was an influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist. She is best known for her powerful and evocative photographs depicting the struggles of American people during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Lange's most famous photograph is titled "Migrant Mother" (1936), which captured the desperation and resilience of a migrant farmworker and her children during the Great Depression. The image became an iconic representation of the hardships faced by many Americans during that time. Lange worked for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the 1930s, documenting the impact of the Depression on rural communities and the lives of sharecroppers and migrant workers. Her photographs revealed the human side of the economic crisis and had a significant influence on public perception and government policies. Throughout her career, Lange documented various social issues, including the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the conditions of migrant workers in California. Her photographs often highlighted the inequality, poverty, and social injustices faced by marginalized communities. Dorothea Lange's work contributed to the development of documentary photography and had a lasting impact on the field. Her photographs continue to be recognized for their emotional depth and the insight they provide into the history of the United States. Measures 24.25 x 30.
