By 1935 she was working for one of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal agencies, the Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration), bringing attention to the plights of sharecroppers, displaced families, and migrant workers. One day in Nipomo, California—driving home after a weeks-long assignment—the photographer stopped at a pea farm, where she came across a mother and her children, clearly desperate and close to starvation. Lange later recalled approaching them “as if drawn by a magnet.” The woman’s name was Florence Owens Thompson, and the result of their encounter was seven exposures, including \u003cem\u003eMigrant Mother\u003c\/em\u003e, which would become an emblem of the era and a landmark in the history of photography.

Although few at the time could have predicted it, \u003cem\u003eNew Documents\u003c\/em\u003e signaled a watershed moment in the history of American photography. What Szarkowski recognized in the three artists was a shared fascination with the commonplace and a novel application of a documentary language to personal expression. \"They like the real world,\" Szarkowksi wrote, \"in spite of its terrors, as the source of all wonder and fascination and value—no less precious for being irrational.\" Their conviction that life's frailties and imperfections are worth examining remains today a premise as vital as when they were first starting out.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDespite the importance of \u003cem\u003eNew Documents\u003c\/em\u003e for posterity, no catalogue was produced at the time. \u003cem\u003eArbus, Friedlander, Winogrand: New Documents, 1967\u003c\/em\u003e marks the exhibition's 50th anniversary and presents for the first time, in full-page reproductions, the 94 photographs that hung on the walls of MoMA, freshly contextualized with an abundance of archival material.

Acclaimed upon its debut at the 1900 Paris Exposition, Johnston's album is now recognized as a landmark in the history of photography as well as a touchstone for the divergent visions of African American progress espoused by W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington (himself a Hampton alumnus).

Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive museum exhibition of the artist's work since his death, this book covers four decades of his remarkable and unique practice, from the early 1960s through the late 1990s, with special emphasis on his early experiments with technique and materiality, which called into question the very definition of photography. As the most complete survey of Heinecken's oeuvre, this book sets his work in the context of twentieth-century photographic experimentation and conceptual art. 188 pp.; 300 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 700003","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44170112991462,"sku":"906-906","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/2af3bdf2-4c80-4815-9bd8-9f6a7303c8c3_3072_98536c2f-1c27-47be-9df7-6900bf0beab4.jpg?v=1736804769"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.moma.org\/en-hr\/collections\/coursera-seeing-through-photographs.oembed","provider":"MoMA Design Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
