Five years earlier I would have thought it enough to take a picture of a man, no more. But now, I wanted to take a picture of a man as he stood in his world .

Dorothea Lange (1895-1965)

This is the best definition of a great portrait I have ever read. It’s a standard not easily met. This exhibition changed what I expect from a portrait. Lange was brilliant.
