Dorothea Lange
Grab a Hunk of Lightning
This beautiful volume celebrates one of the twentieth century’s most important photographers, Dorothea Lange. Led off by an authoritative biographical essay by Elizabeth Partridge (Lange’s goddaughter), the book goes on to showcase Lange’s work in over a hundred glorious plates.
Dorothea Lange features images ranging from her iconic Depression-era photograph “Migrant Mother” to lesser-known images from her global travels later in life. Presented as the companion book to a PBS American Masters episode, this deluxe hardcover offers an intimate and unparalleled view into the life and work of one of our most cherished documentary photographers.
