100 Years of Inge Morath ✨
Today, May 27, marks one hundred years since the birth of Austrian photographer Inge Morath – the first female member of Magnum Photos.
Driven by curiosity and empathy, even in the face of hardship, Morath was always searching for beauty – her photographs are proof of this pursuit.
In looking back at her mother’s archive, Rebecca Miller recognizes how so much of her work intersected with key events of the 20th century. There is one particular story that resonates with her, which she recounted during an online talk celebrating her mother’s centenary. Morath was living in Berlin in her early 20s, and had just purchased a bunch of violets from an old lady on the street. Suddenly, an air raid struck.
“For some reason, she held the violets over her head as she ran down the street, as if they were going to protect her from the bombs that were falling,” says Miller. “To me, that is so classic of my mother, because they were something that was beautiful, that might protect her… She thought of art as a protection from violence and ugliness.”
