Customer Reviews

A great introduction into the early years or MBW

I borrowed this book from the library when I did a paper on Margaret. She was an amazing photographer and has an interesting history. I really did not know anything about her early years so I was super excited to see her photographs, learn about her life, and just feel the nicely printed pages of this book. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about her and her work.

Early Margaret celebrated

Margaret Bourke-White was a leading photojournalist whose work for Fortune, among others, celebrated the machine age and whose later work for Life featured more of an interest in humanitarian concerns. MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE: THE EARLY WORK, 1992-1930 provides a new gathering with a focus on her earliest work, when she was an amateur. Her first photos were still lifes and images more characteristic of her times rather than her talents: one can see the transitions to her personal style in the photos made from 1928-30, and it's also notable that the some eighty photos reproduced here have seldom been seen outside their archives. A 'must' for any in-depth art library.
