  • DOROTHEA LANGE: THE GENIUS OF DOCUMENTRY PHOTOGRAPHY

    Producing beautiful, startling and often jarring images of unemployed men and migrant workers and bringing the conditions of the rural poor to the public's attention, the American documentary photographer and photojournalist, Dorothea Lange, is remembered for revealing the plight of sharecroppers, displaced farmers and migrant workers during the Great Depression.

    One of the preeminent and pioneering photographer of the 20th century, Lange was born Dorothea Nutzhorn on May 26, 1895, in Hoboken, New Jersey.
