Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning by Elizabeth Partridge

4.0

For the photographer of such iconic images as "Migrant Mother" and "White Angel Breadline," not many people seem to know that for the early part of her career, Dorothea Lange's work also helped affect actual social change for many of her subjects. As a budding artist, Lange worked for a federal social program and reported areas that needed aide. Later in life, Lange was able to focus more on the artistic side of her photography, but she could never escape her inscrutable eye for the human condition. Partridge's short biography paired with Lange's own photo captions presents a life of difficulty and difference.
