Photograph of a Migrant Mother
Migrant Mother\nDorothea Lange was genius of the best of the American shooters who employ their art to document, and ultimately to alleviate, the valet de chambre suffering caused by the majuscule Depression of the 1930s. As she viewed it, picture taking was not an end in itself, but a government agency of exploring the world so as to improve it.
