Witty, playful, and effortlessly chic, Inge Morath: On Style reveals the vital forms of fashion and self-expression that blossomed into existence in England, France, and the United States in the postwar decades. The book follows the photojournalist Inge Morath (1923–2002) through intimate sessions with Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn; scenes of window-shopping on Fifth Avenue; American girls discovering Paris; the frenetic splendor of society balls; and working women—from actresses to seamstresses to writers—everywhere taking their place in the world. The photographs in On Style focus on an extraordinary period of Morath’s creativity, from the early 1950s to mid- 1960s, with a coda of work from later years. Here are the fundamental humanism, joy, and unerring eye for life’s brilliant theatricality that characterized her work and made her one of the most celebrated photographers of her time.

"An illustrated biography of one of the twentieth century's greatest photographers, this volume explores the life and work of Inge Morath"--Dust jacket.

Following Inge Morath¿s death in 2002, nearly 10.000 hitherto unknown color originals were recovered from storagein Paris and New York. This body of images, together with Morath¿s known archive of color material, reveals thedevelopment of a distinct sensibility. Inge Morath was undoubtedly influenced by the legendary hostility of hercolleague, Henri Cartier-Bresson, to color photography. Morath¿s own ambivalence is reflected in the contradictionbetween the sheer volume of color film that she exposed and its absence from her exhibited and published works. Hercolor vision, already strong in her photographs of gypsy encampments in Ireland in 1954, matured in the late 1950s,during her documentation of the Middle East, in 1956, and Romania, where she worked in 1958. From the '60s on,Morath employed color as a central element within her documentary narratives. Filling in a significant lacuna in her previously published work, First Color is an examination of Morath¿s first decade of work in color, and is drawn largely from the trove of posthumously recovered material.

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.
