Kurzbeschreibung
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was the glamorous, sophisticated, and globetrotting personification of "Life" magazine during it's heyday, and one of the most respected photographers of her generation. "Margaret Bourke-White" is a stunning collection of 83 of the artist's earliest works that allows us a glimpse of her as a gifted amateur just learning her craft. She took her first photographs as a college student in 1924 - she then went on to develop her own unique 'industrial' style. It was these beautiful, yet haunting images of factories, bridges, skyscrapers, and other wonders of the industrial world that first got her noticed and set her on the path of fame and fortune. This is a must-have volume for anyone interested in one of the most cherished female photographers of her generation, and the birth of photojournalism as we know it today.

Great photos, good quality, too small
11. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I can't give it the 5 stars it deserves. The quality of the photo reproductions in this book are excellent, but they're so small you can't appreciate the images. The book is the size of a paper-back novel. In my opinion, photogravure books need to be bigger (i.e. coffee-table book size) to be able to enjoy the artwork. Text was interesting but far from a complete biography. I was left wanting more info. The publisher used thick, semi-gloss paper, and full-spectrum, high-def printing. Then the photos were made teeny-weeny. Why? 5 stars for the artwork and the quality of reproduction, though.

Early Margaret celebrated
13. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
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.
A great introduction into the early years or MBW
29. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
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.
