The American photographer conveyed the stories of everyday life with sharp and compassionate attention to the human condition. Her career is widely heralded, yet the connection she cultivated between words and pictures has received scant attention. Published alongside a major exhibition, this catalogue takes a fresh approach to some of her best-known frames, such as White Angel Breadline and Migrant Mother, as well as rarely seen work, some reproduced in its original published form, accompanied by writers, artists and thinkers who respond with observations both personal and scholarly.
