Dorothea Lange was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn, who lived from 26 May 1895 to 11 October 1965. She is best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration, which influenced the development of documentary photography and humanized the consequences of the Great Depression. Her 1936 image Migrant Mother became the defining image of the Dust Bowl, and in her later years she taught fine art photography at the California School of Fine Arts.
