DOROTHEA LANGE

Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) documented rural poverty for the federal Resettlement Administration and Farm Security Administration from 1935 to 1939. Her powerful images -from migrant workers in California fleeing the dustbowl, to struggling Southern sharecroppers- became icons of the era. She later photographed Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II and traveled throughoutEurope and Asia.
