DOROTHEA LANGE: WORDS & PICTURES

On the unique synthesis of word and image in Dorothea Lange's boldly political photography, which defined the iconography of WPA and Depression era America.  A committed social observer, Lange paid sharp attention to the human condition, conveying stories of everyday life through her photographs and the voices they drew in.  Published in conjunction with the first major MoMA exhibition of Lange's in 50 years, this edition brings fresh attention to iconic works from the collection together with lesser known photographs - from early street photography to projects on the criminal justice system.  The work's complex relationships to words show Lange's interest in art's power to deliver public awareness and to connect to intimate narratives in the world.
