Her career is widely heralded, yet the connection she cultivated between words and pictures has received scant attention. In conjunction with a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue provides a fresh approach to some of her most iconic images, such as \u003cem\u003eWhite Angel Breadline\u003c\/em\u003e (1933) and \u003cem\u003eMigrant Mother\u003c\/em\u003e (1936), as well as rarely seen works. These photographs, some reproduced in their original published form, are accompanied by contributions from a distinguished group of contemporary writers, artists, and critical thinkers who respond to the images with observations both personal and scholarly. By viewing the breadth of Lange's career and the diverse contexts in which her work appeared, we gain a more nuanced understanding of her achievement and her belief that \"all photographs can be fortified by words.\" 176 pp.; 152 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 700003","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44169693331686,"sku":"900104-900104","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/900104_a_bf6f0109-0d9d-45e4-b6c2-cd25f988e50d.jpg?v=1704281025"},{"product_id":"dorothea-lange-migrant-mother-one-on-one-series-paperback","title":"Dorothea Lange: Migrant Mother, One on One Series - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo look inside this book, click \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/d\/pdfs\/W1siZiIsIjIwMTkvMDIvMTIvMnJ1MXM3b3l6cl9Nb01BX0xhbmdlX1BSRVZJRVcucGRmIl1d\/MoMA_Lange_PREVIEW.pdf?sha=d08840987b5b2fc2\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBy Sarah Hermanson Meister \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe United States was in the pall of the Great Depression when Dorothea Lange began documenting its effects with stirring photographs of human hardship. 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.

The child of migrant parents, Lawrence worked partly from his own experience and partly from long research in his neighborhood library. The result was an epic narrative of the collective history of his people. Within months of its completion, the series entered the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Phillips Memorial Gallery (today The Phillips Collection), Washington, D.C., each institution acquiring thirty panels. The Migration Series is now a landmark in the history of modern art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in conjunction with exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art and at The Phillips Collection, Jacob Lawrence: The Migration Series grounds the work in the cultural and political debates that shaped his art and demonstrates its relevance for artists and writers today. Leah Dickerman situates the series within contemporary discussions about black history and an artist's social responsibilities. Elsa Smithgall traces the acquisition and exhibition history of the Migration Series. The series is reproduced in full; short texts accompanying each panel relate them to the history of the Migration and explore Lawrence's technique and approach.

The title and signature inscribed on most of the works—\"Regrets\/Jasper Johns\"—call to mind a feeling of sadness or disappointment.

In 1940, in the wake of a divorce from her husband, the artist Diego Rivera, Kahlo turned to self-portraiture to express her deepest emotional and psychological impulses, and completed a painting inscribed with the lyrics of a popular song: “Look, if I loved you it was for your hair. Now that you’re without it, I no longer love you.” The work contains an array of influences and references that encompass both popular culture and details from the artist’s private life.

More than two hundred works from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, produced either by black artists or in response to race-related subjects, are reproduced in this volume, each accompanied by newly commissioned writing from a wide array of acclaimed authors. These plates are preceded by two historical essays: the first, by Charlotte Barat and Darby English, traces the history of MoMA's encounters with race since its founding, from an early commitment to African art, and solo exhibitions devoted to artists such as William Edmondson and Jacob Lawrence, in the 1930s and 1940s, through the Museum's activities during the period of the Civil Rights Movement, to the controversial \u003cem\u003ePrimitivism\u003c\/em\u003e show of 1984 and beyond; the second, by Mabel O.

A wide range of authors—artists, curators, and historians of art, architecture, and film—focus on topics that have been largely neglected, such as the architectural structures that posit real or imaginary spaces as models for ethical inquiry and mechanisms of control. Curator Kathy Halbreich's introductory essay explores Nauman's many acts of disappearance, withdrawal, and deflection as revelatory of his central formal and intellectual concerns.
