Day Sleeper (Paperback): Dorothea Lange Day Sleeper (Paperback)
Dorothea Lange; Edited by Sam Contis
R1,174 Discovery Miles 11 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this book Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of the iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's extensive archive, Contis constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred around the figure of the day sleeper - at once a symbol of respite and oblivion. The book shows us one artist through the eyes of another, with Contis responding to resonances between her and Lange's ways of seeing. It reveals a largely unknown side of Lange, and includes previously unseen photographs of her family, portraiture from her studio, and pictures made in the streets of San Francisco and the East Bay. Day Sleeper will be featured alongside other works of Contis' in the exhibition Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures at the Museum of Modern Art, February-May 2020.

A comienzos de los anos treinta, cuando el pais atravesaba la Gran Depresion, una persistente sequia asolo el medio oeste de los Estados Unidos, expulsando de sus granjas a decenas de miles de campesinos que se vieron obligados a emigrar en busca de trabajo. Se calcula que cerca de ciento cincuenta mil norteamericanos vagaban por las carreteras del estado de California ofreciendose como temporeros para la cosecha. A pesar de ser imprescindibles para llevar a cabo la recoleccion, eran recibidos con odio y menosprecio por los habitantes de las localidades por donde pasaban, tachados de ignorantes, sucios y portadores de enfermedades. John Steinbeck, entonces un prometedor escritor, los retrato en una serie de reportajes aparecidos en 1936 en The San Francisco News. El trabajo realizado para preparar estos articulos le permitiria publicar, poco mas tarde, su novela mas lograda: Las uvas de la ira. En la misma epoca, otra artista, la fotografa Dorothea Lange, fue contratada por el Gobierno federal para documentar la situacion de esos inmigrantes. Algunas de aquellas imagenes se han convertido en clasicos de la fotografia, del mismo modo que los reportajes contenidos en este libro se han convertido en clasicos de la literatura.
