Dorthea Lange

A detailed Summary of Dorthea Lange

This report is about Dorothea Lange. The main reason I choose her was because, she was a women and I thought I could probable wright better about her for that reason.

Dorthea was born in 1895 and died in 1965. Dorthea's first photographic job was as a commercial portrait photographer in San Francisco in the 1920's. Her first independent work was taking pictures of native American's in the southwest with her first husband Maynard Dixon.

In the early 1930 Dorthea got tired of the working in the studio so she decided to head to the streets. By this time the Great Depression was underway. She was living in California and had access to a lot of out of work people. Now she was with her second husband Paul Schuster Taylor, documenting the struggles of all

The beginning of WW II brought her to a new turning point in photography. During the war Dorothea took very vivid pictures of the forced relocation of Japanese American citizens, they were placed in internment camps. She also took pictures of minority's and women workers in the shipyards. This showed that everyone could work equally so why shouldn't they be treated equally. These pictures were some of her last pictures taken in America because she was stricken with illness. In the 1950's and 60's she over came her illness by a little and traveled to Ireland, Asia, Egypt, and Midwestern utopian to take a lot of beautiful pictures. I think I would of liked to of met her just about this time in her life, the reason being I think she would had a lot of answers for a lot questions I have
