Oscar V. Lange

Oscar Victor Lange (1853–1913) was a leading photographer and occasional landscape painter in the San Francisco Bay Area of California during the late 19th century.

[1] In 1873 Oscar moved to San Francisco[2] and adopted the surname "Lange" while working with Ernest W. Newth making stereographs.

At the First Salon Arnold Genthe reviewed Lange's work, which included Tamalpais in Summer Light, The Silent Houses and After the Storm, and declared that he "must be counted among the best landscape photographers .

"[4] His photographs and technical articles frequently appeared in the monthly journal Camera Craft and in the magazines: Out West, Sunset and Country Life in America.

In the spring of 1908 the artist Sally Daingerfield curated an exhibition at the Studio Building with fifty of his hand-colored photographs of wildflowers and landscapes.
