"Dorothea Lange’s America" Opening Reception

The Great Depression (1929–1939) was the catalyst for a tremendous outburst of creative energy in America's photographic community. The devastation wreaked upon the country inspired a host of socially conscious photographers to capture the painful stories of the time. This exhibition features the work of Dorothea Lange (American, 1895–1965) and thirteen of these artists. Lange’s empathetic images of migrant workers, suffering families, and tortured landscapes seared the faces of the Depression into America’s consciousness.

The opening reception for "Dorothea Lange's America" will take place on Friday, January 25, from 5–7 p.m. in Zimmerman Recital Hall in the Gallery. The reception is free and open to the public.
