SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY
The themes of social documentary embrace a myriad of subjects, including war (Roger Fenton's photographs of the Crimea, 1855), child labor (Lewis Hine's Lancaster Cotton Mills, South Carolina, 1908), professions and trades (August Sander's circus performers, 1926) and the right of assembly (Garry Winogrand's pro-war rally in New York City, 1969). Dorothea Lange represents the lighter side of life in her view of baseball players at a general store in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (1930s) as does Max Yavno in his beach scene in Southern California (1949).
