Summary:

"In this book, published in conjunction with the Museum's retrospective exhibition of her work (c. 1920-1963), George P. Elliott, a close friend of the photographer for more than twenty years, recreates Miss Lange's career within the framework of her art. He provides a memorable commentary on the numerous series and individual works which reflect the artist's lyrical sensibility-- and which honor both the eye and the intellect. In the early 1930s Miss Lange moved away from formal portraits to seek her subjects outside of her studio. She recognized her fundamental commitment to people, and her work became the expression of an intense vision of ordinary people in ordinary circumstances of their life. Her immensely influential work for the Farm Security Administration called attention to the needs of rural America during the tragedy of the dust bowl years. Her recent and lesser known work from Ireland, Asia, and Egypt reveals the same sympathetic and perceptive response to the people of other cultures." - Book jacket.
