Publisher Description

Explore the life and work of a great twentieth-century photographer in this monograph and companion book to the eponymous PBS American Masters episode.

This beautiful volume celebrates one of the twentieth century’s most important photographers, Dorothea Lange. Led off by an authoritative biographical essay by Elizabeth Partridge (Lange’s goddaughter), the book goes on to showcase Lange’s work in over a hundred glorious plates. Dorothea Lange is the only career-spanning monograph of this major photographer’s oeuvre in print, and features images ranging from her iconic Depression-era photograph “Migrant Mother” to lesser-known images from her global travels later in life. Presented as the companion book to a PBS American Masters episode that aired in 2014, this ebook offers an intimate and unparalleled view into the life and work of one of our most cherished documentary photographers.

“In Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning, Lange’s goddaughter Elizabeth Partridge, an accomplished and prolific author in her own right, presents a first-of-its-kind career-spanning monograph of the legendary photographer’s work, placing her most famous and enduring photographs in a biographical context that adds new dimension to these iconic images.” —Brain Pickings

“Although she may be known best for her stirring portraits of Depression-era life, photojournalist Dorothea Lange had a career that spanned decades and continents. This new book was carefully curated by her goddaughter, Elizabeth Partridge, and represents the most comprehensive collection of Lange’s work to date.” —Reader’s Digest.com
