About
Why this artist matters now
Rondal Partridge was an American photographer who documented rural labor, landscape, and social conditions in the American West across a career spanning seven decades. After assisting Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams in the 1930s and 1940s, Partridge developed his own practice rooted in direct observation and large-format photography. His work appeared in MoMA's landmark exhibition The Family of Man in 1955. He also worked as a filmmaker, extending his documentary approach into motion picture.
