Life As a Photographer

Olivia Lahs-Gonzales; Inge Morath; Arthur Miller; Rolf Sachsse; Gerald Matt; Sabine Folie; Kunsthalle Wien

Synopsis:
This publication, which unites essays about Inge Morath by famous writers with many of her previously unpublished pictures and collections of works, accompanies the major retrospective which can be seen in the Kunsthalle in Vienna from 18 June -- 10 October 1999. Inge Morath photographs "what she sees, with one eye focused on the subject and the other on the soul."She succeeds in blending ethnographic documentation with poetic arrangements. Whilst she provides a point of reference with the "decisive moment, " she simultaneously allows surrealistic elements and street photography to flow into her work. She finds a sensitive picture language to portray Spain in the 1950s or the internal dichotomy of Iran (1956) as well as for her portraits of artists, actors and writers.
