He moved through the crowd, shaking numerous hands. Then, accompanied by John's father, the tall man walked to the opposite side

of
the room. John did not follow them, but he observed every movement. When they finally seated themselves, the surrounding guests sat in the
nearest chairs. This left John approximately 25 feet away. He watched in frustration while the murmured conversations around him covered the
words he was straining to hear.John's father said something and Lincoln laughed. Anxiously, John leaned forward and, at that moment, Abe Lincoln
happened to glance in his direction. John supposed he looked as if he were about to fall out of his seat. Lincoln smiled, reached out his hand, and
motioned John across the room.

What was happening in the United States in the 1930’s that may have influenced Lange’s documentary photography? Explain your cho
Anton [14]

In the early 1930s, Lange, mired in an unhappy marriage, met Paul Taylor, a university professor and labor economist. Their attraction was immediate, and by 1935, both had left their respective spouses to be with each other.

Over the next five years, the couple traveled extensively together, documenting the rural hardship they encountered for the Farm Security Administration, established by the U.S. Agriculture Department. Taylor wrote reports, and Lange photographed the people they met. This body of work included Lange’s most well-known portrait, “Migrant Mother,” an iconic image from this period that gently and beautifully captured the hardship and pain of what so many Americans were experiencing. The work now hangs in the Library of Congress.

As Taylor would later note, Lange’s access to the inner lives of these struggling Americans was the result of patience and careful consideration of the people she photographed. “Her method of work,” Taylor later said, “was often to just saunter up to the people and look around, and then when she saw something that she wanted to photograph, to quietly take her camera, look at it, and if she saw that they objected, why, she would close it up and not take a photograph, or perhaps she would wait until… they were used to her.”
