These include the iconic images of homeless farm families as well as lesser-known Southwestern views, personal photographs Lange made at home in the 19505, and late compositions from an extensive trip to Asia and the Middle East In Focus: Dorothea Lange is published to coincide with an exhibition of her photographs at the Getty Museum from October 15, 2002 through February 9, 2003.
