For those who wonder about HBC she was there from the begenning was even his assistent. The photographers she worked with reads like a WHO'S WHO of famous Leica photogrephers.Capa,Chim,Smith,etc etc etc. She was a full member of magnum from 1955 until her death.You can view her photo archive at http://www.ingemorath.net

I was in London at the time and it was heartening to see one of the big

papers run her bio quite large, the lead obit on the obits page--even

above a Victoria Cross recipient and a movie star. I bet nothing like

that occured in the States...

How is Inge pronounced? With a hard "g" or soft? IN-ga? Inje?

[carlin]

Pretty sure it's IN-ga.

Check out the <a href=http://www.magnumphotos.com/>Magnum Photos

site</a> for some of her pictures.

Oh, and one look at her portrait by Cartier-Bresson should stop the

debunk HC-B crowd dead in its tracks. Raw talent overcomes all

objections about technique and character instantly.

Dave in the world of bigger,faster,newer,louder,fakier,and flakier.As

those who have actually accomplish something fade from the spotlight

they are often like yesterdays newspaper.Relegated to the bottom of

the bird cage.The best we can hope for is that a few will

remember.God forbid that a few of the few should pass on the

knowledge.

Hello Alfred,

 

<p>

 

thanks for this hint and the website.

 

<p>

 

I had the opportunity to be at the opening of an exhibition of her

photos in 1992. She led the crowd around and told about her photos

for 1 1/2 h. After this she appeared quite exhausted, but semmed to

have enjoyed it. Great person and she impressed me a lot by the way

she introduced her work.

 

<p>

 

What I akso found impressive: whenever she was sent to a new oversees-

assignment she spent weeks in advance to learn (at least a

substantial bit of) the native language. This counted even for

different chineese idoms ...

 

<p>

 

Who the hell does this nowadays when going to a foreign place??

Best wihes
