Dorothea
Lange (1895–1965) is recognized as one of the most important
photographers of the 20th century. She documented American life with
riveting, intimate photographs that captured the human face of national
events. Best known for iconic images of migrant farmworkers during the
Depression of the 1930s, her many other projects include photographs of
urban homelessness and Japanese American citizens incarcerated during
World War II. Later work addressed community displacement, the urban
criminal justice system, and rural life in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
