Nel frattempo, nella vita di Margaret Bourke-White
Tutta la vita1930–1932
Photographs Stalin, his mother, Radek and Eisenstein
On her trips she photographs Joseph Stalin and, in Georgia, his mother and great-aunt; she also portrays Karl Radek, Sergei Eisenstein and Hugh Cooper. The work in the USSR demanded great patience, and her impressions remained mixed but on the whole positive.
1931
“Eyes on Russia” in Fortune
Her Soviet photographs first appear in Fortune under the title “Eyes on Russia”; a book of the same name follows from Simon and Schuster.
1932–1934
The Soviet series: newspaper, portfolio, photomurals
The Soviet photographs run as a six-part series in The New York Times (1932), as a deluxe photo portfolio (1934) and as photomurals for the Soviet consulate in New York (1934); other frames circulate in exhibitions, books and periodicals around the globe, especially in Soviet magazines and postcards.
1934
Photographs Dust Bowl drought victims for Fortune
Like Dorothea Lange, she photographs the victims of the Dust Bowl drought. This Depression-era work marks the beginning of her shift from corporate photography to photojournalism.
mid-1930s
Meets Erskine Caldwell
She meets the bestselling novelist, who wrote about the poor rural communities of the South. He invites her to collaborate on a photojournalistic expedition through the South, which will produce the book You Have Seen Their Faces.
