Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue provides a fresh approach to some of her best-known and beloved photographs, highlighting the ways in which these images first circulated in magazines, government reports, books, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn introductory text by curator Sarah Hermanson Meister will be followed by plates organized according to \"words\" from a variety of sources that expand our understanding of the photographs. The featured photographs will range from Lange's first engagement with documentary photography in San Francisco in the early-mid 1930s, including her iconic \u003cem\u003eWhite Angel Breadline\u003c\/em\u003e (1933), to landmark photographs she made for the Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration) such as \u003cem\u003eMigrant Mother\u003c\/em\u003e (1936), powerful photographs made during World War II in California's internment camps for Japanese-Americans, major photo-essays published in \u003cem\u003eLife\u003c\/em\u003e magazine on Mormon communities in Utah (in 1954) and County Clare, Ireland (in 1955), and quietly damning photographs made in the Berryessa Valley in 1956-57, before the region was flooded by the construction of a dam intended to address California's chronic water shortages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition opens December 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596291883244,"sku":"9781633451049","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781633451049-dorothea-lange-words-pictures.jpg?v=1777919409","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/dorothea-lange-words-pictures-by-sarah-hermanson-meister-9781633451049","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
