Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:

This title presents her images of squatter camps, benighted farmers, and stark landscapes are stunning alongwith her captions - which range from simple explanations of settings to historical notes.
MoreLong description:
Near the end of her career, Dorothea Lange lamented, No country has ever closely scrutinized itself visually...I know what we could make of it if people only thought we could dare look at ourselves." Lange however did look unflinchingly turning her lens on the despair degradation and greed unleashed by the Great Depression and her photographs for the New Deal's Farm Security Administration have become the defining images of that time capturing a country and a people on the brink of cataclysmic change.But the iconic images we all know don't come close to telling the whole story. Lange viewed her photographs as part of sequenced narratives contextualized and enriched by her descriptive captions - without which she wrote "half the value of fieldwork is lost." "Daring to Look" presents never-before-published photos and captions from Lange's fieldwork in California the Pacific Northwest and North Carolina during 1939.; Lange's images of squatter camps benighted farmers and stark landscapes are stunning and her captions - which range from simple explanations of settings to historical notes and biographical sketches - add unexpected depth bringing her subjects unforgettably to life often in their own words.When Lange was dismissed from the Farm Security Administration at the end of 1939 these photos and field notes were consigned to archives where they languished rarely seen. With "Daring to Look" Anne Whiston Spirn not only returns them to the public eye but sets them in the context of Lange's pioneering life work and struggle for critical recognition - firmly placing Lange in her rightful position at the forefront of American photography."
