a Japanese-American man and his three sons, suitcases in hand, waiting on the steps of their Victorian for the evacuation buses. In a letter to Ansel Adams, Lange wrote, “I fear the intolerance and prejudice is constantly growing. We have a disease. It’s Jap-baiting and hatred.” It’s hard not to see connections
to contemporary issues and the current political landscape, and the exhibit itself encourages such comparisons. Lange’s long- lasting effect on photography can be seen in a series of works from subsequent artists who
focus on homelessness, income inequality and immigration in modern-day San Francisco. Janet Delaney, whose project “South of Market” showcases newly displaced San Franciscans, is one of the contemporary photographers who represents Lange’s legacy. She explains, “Lange could make beautiful photographs of difficult subjects. That beauty makes you want to look and look again until you see the complexity of the situations she documented.” à “Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing” is at Oakland Museum of California through Aug 13 (
museumca.com). $15.95.
