Inge Morath

Arthur Miller & Inge Morath at their home in Connecticut, 1962

Inge Morath is one of those artists that I just keep coming back to and she never fails to inspire. Not just for her photography, which is fascinating to me, but by her ability to be a life-long-learner, consistently adapting to and embedding herself in the many countries and cultures that she inhabited in her life.

Inge, incognito

Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller on the set of The Misfits, photographed by Morath. Miller wrote the part for one-time-wife Monroe in his screenplay. He and Morath met on the set, where she and other photographers (including Henri Cartier-Bresson) were documenting the production.

'Photography is a strange phenomenon...
You trust your eye and cannot help but bare your soul.'

Inge Morath
