10. OAKMOA_130726_193.JPG: Dorothea Lange and Documentary Photography During the Great Depression, photographers used the camera as an instrument for social change. For many photographers during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the times demanded that they document the plight of the poor and displaced. In California, this meant recording the experiences of the thousands of Dust Bowl refugees fleeing wasted farms in the South and Midwest. Foremost among these was Berkeley-based photographer, Dorothea Lange. He intimate and sympathetic documents are portraits of dignity in the face of despair. Encouraged by government-funded art programs and picture magazines like Life, she and others created an indelible record of Americans in hard times. The Oakland Museum of California houses Lange's personal archive of 25,000 negatives; 6,000 vintage prints; field notes; and personal memorabilia. Visit the archive only at oac.cdlib.org .

Wikipedia Description: Oakland Museum of California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oakland Museum of California or OMCA (formerly the Oakland Museum) is an interdisciplinary museum dedicated to the art, history, and natural science of California, located in Oakland, California. The museum contains more than 1.8 million objects dedicated to "telling the extraordinary story of California." It was created in the mid-1960s out of the merger of three separate museums dating from the early 20th century, and was opened in 1969.

Facilities:

The museum building, designed by architect Kevin Roche, with landscape design by Dan Kiley and gardens by Geraldine Knight Scott, is an important example of mid-century modernism and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. The concrete building includes three tiers, one each focusing on the art, history, and natural science collections, along with temporary exhibition galleries, an auditorium, a restaurant, and other ancillary spaces. Outdoor architectural features are terraced roof gardens, patios, outdoor sculpture, a large lawn area, and a koi pond.

Between 2009 and 2013, the museum underwent a major renovation and expansion designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates. The art and history galleries were closed from August 2009 to May 2010, followed by closure of the natural science gallery and education facilities (reopened in May 2013). Skidmore, Owings and Merrill designed the environmental graphics program for the renovation and re-branding of the museum. Core support for the capital improvements came from Measure G, a $23.6 million bond initiative passed by Oakland voters in 2002.

Collections:

Art:

The museum owns more than 70,000 examples of California art and design, created from the mid-1800s to the present. Painters represented in the art collection include Addie L. Ballou, Albert Bierstadt, George Henry Burgess, Richard Diebenkorn, Maynard Dixon, Childe Hassam, Thomas Hill, Am�d�e Joullin, William Keith, David Park, ...More...

2013 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000 and Nikon D600. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Memphis, TN, Jackson, MS [to which I added a week to to visit sites in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee], and Richmond, VA), and my 8th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Nevada and California). Ego Strokes: Aviva Kempner used my photo of her as her author photo in Larry Ruttman's "American Jews & America's Game: Voices of a Growing Legacy in Baseball" book. Number of photos taken this year: just over 570,000.
