Inge Morath was born in Graz, Austria. Her parents were scientists and took her along on their many European assignments. Morath studied languages in Berlin, and after the Second World War she became a translator, then a journalist and the Austrian editor for Heute, an Information Service Branch publication based in Munich. For the remainder of her life Morath would remain a prolific diary and letter-writer, retaining a dual gift for words and pictures that made her unusual among her colleagues. A friend of photographer Ernst Haas, Morath wrote articles to accompany his photographs. Together, they were invited to Paris by Robert Capa to join the newly-founded Magnum agency, where she worked as an editor. Morath began photographing in 1951, and assisted Henri Cartier-Bresson as a researcher in 1953 - 54. She became a member of Magnum in 1955. In the following years, Morath traveled extensively in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Her special interest in the arts found expression through photographic essays published by a number of leading magazines. After her marriage to Arthur Miller in 1962, Morath settled in New York and Connecticut. She made her first trip to the USSR in 1965, and in 1978, after studying Mandarin for five years, she made the first of many trips to the People's Republic of China together with Miller. In the 1980s and '90s, Inge Morath continued to pursue both assignments and independent projects. She won numerous awards, including being presented with a Doctor Honoris Causa by the University of Connecticut, the Austrian State Prize for Photography, the Gold medal of the National Art Club, and the Medal of Honor in Gold of the City of Vienna. Some of Morath’s greatest achievements are in portraiture, posed images of celebrities as well as fleeting images of anonymous passersby. Another gift is her feeling for places: her pictures of Boris Pasternak's home, Pushkin's library, Chekhov's house, Mao Tse Tung's bedroom, as well as artists' studios and cemetery memorials, are permeated with the spirit of invisible people still present.
