Description
Lange, however, did look, unflinchingly turning her lens on the despair, degradation, and greed unleashed by the Great Depression, and her photographs for the New Deal?s Farm Security Administration have become the defining images of that time, capturing a country and a people on the brink of cataclysmic change. With Daring to Look, Anne Whiston Spirn not only returns them to the public eye, but sets them in the context of Lange?s pioneering life, work, and struggle for critical recognition?firmly placing Lange in her rightful position at the forefront of American photography.
