Things are happening in Russia, and happening with staggering speed. I could not afford to miss any of it. I wanted to make pictures of this astonishing development, because, whatever the outcome, whether success or failure, the plan is so gigantic, so unprecedented in all history, that I felt these photographic records might have some historical value. I saw the five-year plan as a great scenic drama being unrolled before the eyes of the world.
rear cover blurb
Margaret Bourke-White was 27 when she went to Russia to photograph. Eyes on Russia features forty photographs, an introduction by Maurice Hindu, and a substantial text by Bourke-White. I will post more as I get the chance to scan them. But for starters, these are the final five images in the book.
She was a truly remarkable photographer – a visual historian.
Hey, my name is Elaine and I am doing a report on Margaret Bourke-White. I was wondering if I could have an interview over the internet about your thoughts about her. If you could let me know my email address is frankiebidinger@comcast.net. Thank you, elaine
