The National Award for Arts Writing, Tonight!
Monday, May 24th
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Free and open to the public

Tonight at the Arts Club of Washington, The National Award for Arts Writing goes to Linda Gordon for her book Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits, which describes Lange's rise as one of the preeminent photographers of America during the Great Depression and the New Deal, and provides insightful descriptions of how such iconic images as "Migrant Mother" came to be made. The New York Times called this book "an absorbing, exhaustively researched and highly political biography of a transformative figure in the rise of modern photojournalism." The award is given each year in recognition of excellence in writing about the arts for a broad audience for a book published in the previous year about any artistic discipline be it visual, performing, media, or literary. Gordon will read, followed by a book signing and light reception.
