Notes
- Magnum gives 1953 as her Magnum joining year (as photographer), full member 1955. ICP gives 1954 (see src-icp-inge-morath-archive). Discrepancy recorded in the bio file; ICP’s “1954” appears to refer to when she formally joined after the 1953-54 assistantship.
- No specific birth date (month/day) provided on this page; Wikipedia (src-wikipedia-inge-morath-pointer) gives May 27, 1923.
