Morath, Inge. In Russia by Inge Morath.

Viking Press, 1969. Inge Morath was one of the first women photographers associated with Magnum, the photographer's cooperative agency founded by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and other well known photographers. She teamed up with famous playwright and husband Arthur Miller (at one time married to Marilyn Monroe) to produce this fine book. This is an "inside" look at the Soviet Union during a period when relatively few foreign visitors went there. Morath and Miller traveled widely to Moscow, Leningrad, Novgorod, Samarkand, Tashkent, etc. They visited the home of Tolstoy and other sites associated with famous writers, including Osip Mandelshtam, Maxim Gorky, and others. Here are also Miller's accounts of, and Morath's portraits of, contemporary Russian authors, including Evgeny Yevtushenko and his wife Galia; Iosip (Joseph) Brodsky, and others. A wonderful book, one of a series of photo/text books that Miller and Morath produced. This copy is cloth, near fine, no dust jacket.
