Chapter Nine Artist Review: Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange was a photographer who traveled to different parts of the country for the FSA . Lange primarily focused on immigrants who had been  uprooted from their homes due to the great depression and drought. Lange then photographed a migrant woman with her children and the piece was called named  Migrant Mother. The photograph was shot in black and white with the mother as the main subject and her children , one on each side hiding their faces. The mother has a contemplative expression probably with different thoughts going through her mind.
