Quella dell'americana Sam Contis è un'operazione di riscoperta e ricontestualizzazione di alcune immagini (per lo più inedite) di Dorothea Lange, editate con spirito contemporaneo. Contis rilegge la relazione fra quotidiano e politico nell'opera di Lange (queste non sono le "solite" foto della FSA), costruendo connessioni con l'oggi e aggiornando quindi il messaggio dell'autrice. Emerge il tema del "day sleeper", con il sonno come simbolo - nelle parole della curatrice - di tregua e oblio. Operazione intelligente (e come prevedibile immagini bellissime, intime e delicate).… (mer)

A Curated Overview
Review of the Aperture Masters of Photography hardcover edition (2014)

Dorothea Lange: Masters... is part of the Aperture Foundation's occasional book series Masters of Photography. Each monograph in the series is an overview of the photography career of a selected photo artist. target="_top">Aperture itself was founded in 1952 as a non-profit to promote photography and Dorothea Lange herself was one of its founders.

This Masters... retrospective provides a selection of 42 photographs from throughout Lange's career. Further to her now iconic 1930s Depression era photographs, such as Migrant Mother, it includes her later photojournalism such as selections from Impounded: Dorothea Lange and the Censored Images of Japanese American Internment (2006), which had previously been confiscated by the U.S. Government. Some brief examples of her early portrait photography and later international journalism bookend the collection.

The text include a career biography and photo-by-photo commentary by Lange specialist Linda Gordon, who also contributed text for Impounded (above) and wrote the preeminent Lange biography Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits (2009).

I picked up Dorothea Lange: Aperture Masters of Photography through a recent increased interest in Lange's photojournalism work, due to 2 recent biographic historical fictions on her life in Elise Hooper's Learning to See (2019) and Jasmin Darznik's The Bohemians (2021).… (mer)

MOMA One on One
Review of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) paperback edition (2019)

In addition to MOMA's online learning page about Lange's iconic 1936 photograph, the book covers the history of the photograph from its creation through its use in newspaper articles, exhibitions, magazines, parodies and its effect on other photographers and images which seem to mirror it.

The essay includes some information about the subject Florence Owens Thompson (1903-1983), who was miraculously identified after almost 40 years. Both Lange's and Thompson's memories of the day are somewhat different, but that is to be expected after so much time had passed.
