© Magnum Photos / Inge Morath Foundation / Fotohof archiv | | | | | | | Inge Morath was a Magnum member from the very beginning. Her international career is reflected in her life's journey: Her family hailed from Slovenj Gradec in what was then Lower Styria, now part of Slovenia. She was born in Graz in 1923, and after spending her youth in various European cities, she witnessed the end of the Second World War in Berlin. Subsequently she worked in Vienna as a text journalist with Ernst Haas, then in Paris with Henri Cartier- Bresson and moved to the USA in 1962 after her marriage to Arthur Miller. From there, she travelled to all the continents as a photographer and her photos were featured in solo exhibitions at important museums. | | | | | | | | | Inge Morath

Inge Morath is one of the artists who documented large cultural areas in extensive journeys and who created timeless portraits through her intensive commitment to people. In doing so, she not only directed her loving attention to such film stars as Marilyn Monroe, but also unknowns such as the ladies working in the accounting department at Magnum. She photographed the great artists of the 20th century such as Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Anaïs Nin and Alexander Calder in equally intimate images as she did unknown street boys in Venice or dancers in a small bar in Spain.
The exhibition was curated by Dr. Kurt Kaindl and Brigitte Blüml- Kaindl, Fotohof Salzburg. | | | | | | unsubscribe here
