An expansive look at portraiture, identity, and inequality as seen in Dorothea Langeâs iconic photographs

Dorothea Lange (1895â"1965) aimed to make pictures that were, in her words, âimportant and useful.â Her decades-long investigation of how photography could articulate peopleâs core values and sense of self helped to expand our current understanding of portraiture and the meaning of documentary practice.

Langeâs sensitive portraits showing the common humanity of often marginalized people were pivotal to public understanding of vast social problems in the twentieth century. Compassion guided Langeâs early portraits of Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as her depictions of striking workers, migrant farmers, rural African Americans, Japanese Americans in internment camps, and the people she met while traveling in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Drawing on new research, the authors look at Langeâs roots in studio portraiture and demonstrate how her influential and widely seen photographs addressed issues of identity as well as social, economic, and racial inequalitiesâ"topics that remain as relevant for our times as they were for hers.
