Beschreibung:

Dorothea Lange and Paul Taylor, February, 1939 Author: Cunningham, Imogen Date Published: 1939 Description: Vintage gelatin silver print. 9.5x12 cm (3¾x4¾"); tipped to board: 51x40.5 cm (20x16"). An extraordinary association copy signed in initials by Imogen Cunningham in pencil on print verso with inscription "Keep for Dorothea Album". Vintage print from the year of publication of Lange and Taylor's explosive American Exodus: A Record of Human Erosion (January, 1940), the photobook that documented the Dustbowl emigration of Okies to California and complemented Steinbeck's novel of the previous year, The Grapes of Wrath. Lange and Taylor were married in 1935—their bond so telling in this image—and proved a formidable team in documenting the ecological as well as human devastation wrought by capital. Condition: A couple of slight bends, light edgewear; near fine. Item#: 366644 Headline: Dorothea Lange and Paul Taylor, by Cunningham
