PAUL STRAND. GILBERT & GEORGE. DOROTHEA LANGE. A look at the work of Dorothea Lange who captured the Great Depression through her lens and created some of the iconographic images of that era. At a time when women had had the vote for less than twenty years, Dorothea Lange was a pioneer. A professional woman who took photographs for a living. The Great Depression of the 1930s is best remembered, photographically, by the work of the FSA, for which she worked. She travelled the USA recording the deprivations caused by the failure of the economy as well as taking many uplifting images that showed that, despite the hard times, life and love went on.
It is probably best to start with an image of the photographer herself. Unlike some, Lange did not interpolate herself actively in her photographs – those that we have of her show her usually on her own in very much a framed composition. Lange took to roaming the streets taking pictures of homeless and unemployed people and this very quickly drew the admiration of local photographers. DOROTHEA LANGE: "PORTRAITS" (1935 - 1939) DOROTHEA LANGE PORTRAITS. Dorothea Lange was a photographer whose portraits of displaced farmers during the Great Depression greatly influenced later documentary photography. Synopsis During the Great Depression, Dorothea Lange photographed the unemployed men who wandered the streets. Her photographs of migrant workers were often presented with captions featuring the words of the workers themselves. Lange’s first exhibition, held in 1934, established her reputation as a skilled documentary photographer. In 1940, she received the Guggenheim Fellowship.
Early Years One of the preeminent and pioneering documentary photographers of the 20th century, Dorothea Lange was born Dorothea Nutzhorn on May 26, 1895, in Hoboken, New Jersey. When she was 7, Dorothea contracted polio, which left her right leg and foot noticeably weakened. Just before Dorothea reached her teen years, her parents divorced.
Art and literature were big parts of Lange’s upbringing. Change of Focus Final Years.
