EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Dorothea Lange, an influential American Resettlement Administration photographer, during her time in California. Taken in February 1936, this image showcases Lange seated outside an automobile with her camera by her side. Her self-assured posture and focused gaze reveal a determined journalist ready to document the realities of the era. Lange's contribution to documentary photography is evident in this powerful snapshot. As she traveled through rural areas affected by the Great Depression, she used her lens to shed light on the struggles faced by everyday Americans. The license plate on the car serves as a reminder that she was constantly on the move, capturing images that would later become iconic representations of this tumultuous period. The photograph also provides a glimpse into Lange's early career and connection to California. With her cap pulled low over her forehead and hood framing her face, she exudes a sense of adventure and resilience while embracing life on the road. As one of many talented photographers employed under President Roosevelt's New Deal program known as Resettlement Administration (later renamed Farm Security Administration), Lange played a crucial role in documenting history through visual storytelling. This image serves as both a testament to Lange's dedication as well as a window into an important chapter in American history - one that forever changed our perception of society during times of hardship.
