EMILY BERMAN

Dorothea did not necessarily see herself as an artist first, she saw herself as a journalist. She informed the public on what life was like far away, which at that time was suffering. She was affiliated with the art movement of Social Realism, which is the realistic depiction of art in contemporary life, as a means of social or political comment. She captured the life of the suffering, which is capturing the realistic circumstances some people lived in. Her style of photography is very raw, she doesn't hold back on her photos, she just captures what she sees.
