The Photographs of Margaret Bourke-White. Bonanza Books. Includes a newspaper clipping on Bourke-Whites visit to Pittsburgh by Bob Stearns from The Pittsburgh Press on April 19, 1981.
"Margaret Bourke-White rose to pre-eminence in that remarkable decade - 1925 to 1935 - when camera development, editorial imagination and a breakthrough in printing processes combined to bring about a revolution in communications through the still picture. As a photographer for Fortune and later as one of the four original staff photographers for Life, her photojournalism became known throughout America and the far reaches of the world.
Known to her colleagues at Life as Maggie and known to the world as the dynamic and courageous woman who finally succumbed to Parkinsons disease in 1971 after years of struggle, Margaret Bourke-Whites life and career were a long series of firsts. She began as an industrial photographer, solving the problems of shooting pictures in the cavernous, black interiors of steel mills; she was one of the first foreign travelers to document the workings of the Soviet five-year plans; she made the picture for the first cover of Life and produced eleven books; she was a war correspondent, a compassionate witness to famine in India, a dedicated seeker of the truth, whether it be among sharecroppers, South African goldminers, American GIs or Jesuits. She photographed Gandhi, Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill, and countless others. She was a pioneer of the photo essay and a master of the form. All of her important work is shown in this major retrospective of her career.
Sean Callahan, a Life editor who was one of Miss Bourke-Whites devoted friends during the last two years of her life has selected the material for this book. Theodore Brown, Professor of Art History at Cornell, has written the biographical and critical text, and the distinguished photographer Carl Mydans has contributed a personal appreciation in tribute to an old friend and a great artist in her field."
The book is in overall very good condition. The cover does show wear and age.
