A Llama in a Taxi - Times Square - New York
Inge Morath (1923–2002) was an Austrian-born photographer who gained international acclaim for her work. She was born on May 27, 1923, in Graz, Austria. Morath began her career as a journalist, working for magazines in Austria and Germany. In the early 1950s, she shifted her focus to photography.
Morath joined Magnum Photos in 1953, a prestigious cooperative agency founded by renowned photographers such as Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Throughout her career, Morath travelled extensively and covered a wide range of subjects, including portraits, travel photography, and documentary work.
Her photography was characterized by its humanistic approach, capturing the essence of individuals and cultures with empathy and respect. Morath had a talent for documenting everyday life, and her work often revealed the human stories behind historical events. She collaborated with many prominent figures in the arts, including her husband, playwright Arthur Miller.
One of Inge's iconic images was of a Llama in a taxi. Passers-by couldn't help but do double-takes, their eyes widening in surprise as they witnessed the unusual passenger in the taxi. The llama, with its calm demeanour and curious expression, gazed out of the taxi window at the kaleidoscope of lights and advertisements that defined the iconic Times Square.
Inge Morath's work has been exhibited worldwide, and she received numerous awards for her contributions to the field of photography. She left a lasting legacy as a trailblazing female photographer who played a significant role in shaping the visual language of the 20th century. Morath passed away on January 30, 2002, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be appreciated and celebrated.
