Surveying the unsentimental work of an early pioneer of color photography

This book provides a survey of the work of Austrian-born American photographer Inge Morath (1923-2002). Surviving the Allied bombing of the Berlin factory where she worked, Morath, originally a journalist, became one of the woman photographers to join the Magnum agency.

A formidable intellectual and diversely talented, Morath eventually established herself as a photographer with an unsentimental and direct approach, and also become an early pioneer and champion of color photography.

This volume gathers more than 150 photographs and documents that delineate the main phases of Morath's career, emphasizing the humanitarian empathy that characterized all of her production. Included here are some of Morath's most influential reportages, from her portrayal of Venice to her gorgeous images of the Danube river; and images taken in countries ranging from Spain to Russia, from Iran to China, to Romania, the US and her native Austria.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is dedicated to Inge Morath (Graz, 1923 - New York, 2002), an exceptional photographer and refined intellectual, as well as the first woman to be admitted to the famous Magnum Photos agency. Over 150 photographs and documents retrace the main phases of her work, highlighting the humanity that characterizes her entire production: a sensitivity molded by the tragic experience of the Second World War, which over the years will result in the documentation of the resistance of the human spirit to extreme difficulties and in the awareness of the value of life. The volume presents her main reports: from the one dedicated to Venice to the one on the Danube river; from Spain to Russia, from Iran to China, to Romania, to the United States of America passing through her native Austria. Also presented here her famous portraits of writers, painters, poets, including Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and Arthur Miller whom, known on the movie set of “The Misfits”, later became her husband – a bond that would last for forty years.
