Dorothea Lange retrospective at MoMA New York through May 2020
The Museum of Modern Art in New York is hosting a retrospective of Dorothea Lange (1895–1965), running until May 9, 2020. The exhibition spans her entire career, from early street photography to later projects on criminal justice reform, featuring both well-known works from the museum's collection and lesser-known pieces. Lange, famous for documenting the Great Depression in rural America, believed that all photographs could be enhanced by words. Central to her work is the exploration of human condition through facial expressions, which she described as a universal language. The show is on view at MoMA.
