Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-8. Bourke-White's photographs documented the history of her times, from the excitement of technology and the drama of skyscrapers to the hardship of the Depression, the horror of Buchenwald, and the sorrow of South African gold miners. This readable biography shows how she influenced her profession with her development of the photo-essay at Life magazine and her shift from glossy advertising images to candid shots of ordinary people. Welch is careful not to idealize her subject, making clear that although the great photos show suffering, kindness, and courage, the person behind the camera remained cold, aggressive, and very much alone. As in Bourke-White's life, the focus here is on her work (her brief marriage to Erskine Caldwell gets only a half sentence). The book design is clear and attractive, with quality paper, a bibliography, and small photo reproductions throughout. However, readers will wish there were more--and larger--prints of those famous photos that Bourke-White took and that Welch describes so well. Hazel Rochman
From Kirkus Reviews
This entry in the Trailblazers series offers readers an admiring look at photographer Margaret Bourke-White. In 1904, when Margaret was born, women were not allowed to vote and were not encouraged to have careers, but Margaret's parents pressed all three of their children to ``do their best and become independent.'' For Margaret that meant exploring, and she became excited by all that she saw in nature. Her father, an inventor, was interested in the camera, a preoccupation he passed on to Margaret. At Columbia University, Margaret took a course in photography, and from there never looked back. Her single-minded focus on her photography and career left her with two failed marriages, no children, and a life with virtually no friends as she suffered with Parkinson's disease alone at the end of her life. Welch (Clouds of Terror, 1994) portrays Margaret sympathetically, and if readers are troubled to learn that she couldn't have it all, they will respect the woman who followed her dream, and seek out more complex biographies for the rest of the story.
