An expansive look at portraiture, identity, and inequality as seen
in Dorothea Lange’s iconic photographs  Dorothea Lange
(1895–1965) aimed to make pictures that were, in her words,
“important and useful.” Her decades-long investigation of how
photography could articulate people’s core values and sense of
self helped to expand our current understanding of portraiture and
the meaning of documentary practice.  Lange’s sensitive
portraits showing the common humanity of often marginalized people
were pivotal to public understanding of vast social problems in the
twentieth century. Compassion guided Lange’s early portraits of
Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico from the 1920s and
1930s, as well as her depictions of striking workers, migrant
farmers, rural African Americans, Japanese Americans in internment
camps, and the people she met while traveling in Europe, Asia, and
Latin America. Â Drawing on new research, the authors look at
Lange’s roots in studio portraiture and demonstrate how her
influential and widely seen photographs addressed issues of
identity as well as social, economic, and racial
inequalities—topics that remain as relevant for our times as they
were for hers. Published in association with the National Gallery
of Art, Washington Exhibition Schedule: Â National Gallery of

Photography Reinvented brings together thirty-five works by
eighteen critically acclaimed artists who, through innovative
experimentation and visionary conceptual scope, have changed the
course of contemporary photography. From the seemingly objective,
straightforward style and large-scale, vibrantly colored prints of
famed Dusseldorf School photographers Andreas Gursky, Candida
Hofer, Thomas Struth, and Thomas Ruff to works by groundbreaking
contemporary artists, including Thomas Demand, Vik Muniz, Cindy
Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Catherine Opie, Photography
Reinvented traces the aesthetic, technical, and philosophical
shifts of the art form during a period of substantial change. Some
of the artists, such as Sherman and Demand as well as Muniz and
John Baldessari, explore the nature of photography as a medium that
appropriates imagery from mass culture and other sources. Others,
such as Hofer and Struth, have reassessed iconic works of art and
architecture, revealing the relevance of the past in our present
lives. And all of these artists have made large-scale prints that
create new and strangely destabilizing experiences of space for
their viewers. In an age when photography can no longer claim
documentary veracity as its raison d'etre, Photography Reinvented
examines the medium's redefinition, repurposing, and reimagining.
