Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing, On view from March 15 through May 27, 2019
Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) is widely recognized as one of the most important documentary photographers of the twentieth century. She was a prominent advocate of the power of the medium to effect change and used her camera as a political tool to expose what she saw as injustices and inequalities. Lange was also a formidable woman of remarkable vigor and resilience. Having overcome adversity in her childhood, she went on to become a successful portrait photographer in San Francisco. In 1933, she took her camera to the streets for the first time to document the unemployed people—economically devastated by the Great Depression—she saw from her studio window. Later, she focused her attention on migrant farm laborers and refugees streaming into California from the Dust Bowl states in search of work. During much of this time, Lange worked for the government’s newly established Resettlement Administration (later called the Farm Security Administration), and her photographs were meant to be powerful arguments for federal assistance.
Although Lange’s photographs were taken more than fifty years ago, many of the issues they address remain relevant today: poverty, environmental degradation, treatment of immigrants, the erosion of rural communities, racial discrimination, and women’s rights. They also speak to the continuing role of visual images in shaping public opinion and political positions.
The exhibition encompasses 300 objects, including 130 vintage and modern photographs, proof sheets, letters, a video, and other personal memorabilia.

Dorothea Lange Perspective with Drew Heath Johnson, curator from the Oakland Museum of California
With hardship and suffering as consistent areas of focus throughout her career, Dorothea Lange created arresting portraits with the aim of sparking reform. Join Drew Heath Johnson as he examines the central theme of Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing: the power of Lange’s photography to sway people’s minds and spur them to action. Johnson will look at both the effects of her imagery and her intentions, which could be quite contradictory.
Drew Heath Johnson has worked at the Oakland Museum since 1989. His many exhibitions at the museum include Silver & Gold: Cased Images of the California Gold Rush; Fertile Ground: Art and Community in California; and Capturing Light: Masterpieces of California Photography, 1850–2000, and Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing. His many duties include the guardianship and sharing of Dorothea Lange’s entire personal archive, a collection with more than six thousand vintage prints and forty thousand negatives, along with the artist’s personal correspondence, field notes, proof sheets, and working documents. He is the recipient of a California Book Award for the catalog of Capturing Light. A native Californian, he has been a student of photography since purchasing his first daguerreotype at the age of fourteen.
