Dorothea Lange
(1895 - 1965)
Ms. Lange was a photographer known for her photos during the Great Depression. Her photos documented the working and living conditions of the workers for the investigations of the US Farm Security Administration.
In my opinion, this is the photo that first comes to mind when I head Ms. Lange's name....

She was! I can only imagine living back then, when she took all these photos. She really saw life thru different eyes.
DeleteShe's an excellent photographer and has been hugely influential in the art world!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking thru her galleries. She took such ordinary subjects and really made them special.

Thanks, hope you are, too!
DeleteI too have stopped over from A to Z. Glad I did. That's such a powerful photograph and I must admit I didn't know the name of the photographer. Thanks for that bit of important information.
ReplyDeleteI've learned a lot doing research for the A-Z this year. Thanks for stopping in!
DeleteSuch an iconic photo. It speaks volumes and always has. Good choice... Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is one letter I really didn't have to decide on - I knew I would write about her!
