Line for Dorothea Lange

Our friend Heidi came this weekend to the see the exhibition of Dorothea Lange's photographs at the Jeu de Paume closing today; we went at noon. Fortunately we had timed tickets, and got in promptly ; it proved to be very popular, open until 9 pm the last few days. As Germans living in New York from 1938, Heidi's family was sent to an internment camp in Texas from 1942 to I944 (alongside a separate camp for Japanese).  Dorothea Lange took many photographs of the camps for Japanese in California in that same period, and Heidi wanted to see them. Marylee and I had seen the exhibition on 8 January  but we were glad to go again.  I was more impressed than ever by Lange's achievement. The extra shows the show's display of the routes she took during the Great Depression to photograph it for the FSA from 1935 to 1939.  She experienced a truly unparalleled career.
