Dorothea Lange: The Grapes Of Wrath

Musée Réattu is showing “The Grapes Of Wrath,” an exhibition of Dorothea Lange’s work through October 3.

June 12, 2021 - October 3, 2021

Musée Réattu is showing “The Grapes Of Wrath,” an exhibition of Dorothea Lange’s work through October 3. In 1998, the Hôtel Sully in Paris hosted the “Dorothea Lange” exhibition, consisting of 170 photographs by the famous American photographer. The exhibition was curated by Sam Stourdzé, who had 36 silver prints made for the occasion from negatives held by the Oakland Museum of California. Sam Stourdzé, particularly attached to Arles, both personally and as the former director of the Rencontres de la Photographie, offered to donate these prints to the Musée Réattu.

This collection of work covers the period between 1933 and 1940, from the photographer’s first street photographs in San Francisco, to the sets corresponding to the missions she carried out from 1935 onwards for the Resettlement Administration. The show celebrates Lange’s legacy by presenting the initial selection of images.
