  • Toward the end of her life, Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) reflected, “All photographs-not only those that are so called 'documentary’...can be fortified by words.” A committed social observer, Lange paid sharp attention to the human condition, conveying stories of everyday life through her photographs and the voices they drew in.
    "Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures," the first major MoMA exhibition of Lange’s in 50 years, brings iconic works from the collection together with less seen photographs-from early street photography to projects on criminal justice reform. The work’s complex relationships to words show Lange’s interest in art’s power to deliver public awareness and to connect to intimate narratives in the world.
    "Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures" opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 9, 2020

    Her attention to the human condition is so keen and I find it uplifting that her life's work has a chance to be understood more.

    I can't work out if I'm tearing up because of its sadness or its beauty, or if those words even have a meaningful distinction right now.

    I read The Bohemians by Jasmin Darznik, Biographical historical Novel of Lange's life. What a powerful woman behind the pictures.... It makes sense, the hardships she personally went through in life empowered her to capture life in a photo of others.

    I am here because Dorthea Lange is my favorite photographer. Her photos weren't pretty. They were impactful. They told stories that needed to be told, of ordinary people living through extrodinary times.
