[edit] worked with/for Arnold Genthe?

I've read some several sites that Lange worked either with or for Arnold Genthe. One report says that she worked in his San Francisco portrait studio, and he taught her how to take photographs. If this is correct, it contradicts the statement that she started her career in New York. Can anyone comment? Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo 01:39, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I have a comment. I heard that first worked as a darkroom assiatant and receptionist to Arnold, and THEN she opened HER OWN portrait studio in San Francisco. Hope that helps

On Langes 'migrant mother' ζyou can just make out a thumb on the lower right side of the print. this was clearly visible in earlier prints, but was later retouched by lange. blahhhhhhhh

[edit] Magnum Photos

This article states that, "In 1947 Lange was part of the group that founded the photo agency Magnum . . ." I've never seen this statement before, it is not contained on the Wiki article on Magnum, and the official Magnum site does not credit Lange with co-founding the group -- or even list her name as ever being a member. As such, I am removing this statement and would ask for documentation before reinstatement.

[edit] Social Realist

I think it is important that we mention the fact that she was a Social Realist. That only serves her right for her great work depicting working class issues76.175.194.253 (talk) 18:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
