Dorothea Lange (1966), featuring an introductory essay by George P. Elliott, is a seminal monograph published by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). It served as the catalogue for a major retrospective of her work and remains a vital collection of her influential, empathetic documentary photography. 

Published shortly after Lange's death in late 1965, the book was a deeply collaborative project between the photographer and MoMA's Department of Photography. Lange helped select the nearly 90 black-and-white plates featured in the book, which spans her career from 1920 to 1963. The images focus heavily on her portraits and social documentary work, notably her iconic Depression-era photography.

Writer George P. Elliott—a close friend of Lange for over 20 years—provided the book's critical introductory essay. His writing helps frame Lange's career, discussing her artistic evolution from a studio portrait photographer to one of the 20th century's most significant visual documentarians.
