“My Romanian diary” photo exhibition by Inge Morath on display in Bucharest

A photography exhibition with works by Austrian photographer Inge Morath, who studied in Bucharest in the 30s and traveled to Romania after that, will be on display at the Romanian Peasant's Museum in Bucharest from September 2nd. The exhibition, called 'My Romanian diary', will run until October 17. 133 of Inge Morath's photographic works will be on display. Morath traveled to Romania in 1958 and in 1959, when she took the pictures which will be on display. As a university student, Morath had studied the Romanian language. “I spent a semester in Bucharest to further my studies, earning money by giving German lessons and translating Rumanian poetry and short stories into German, thus starting an acquaintance with the rich literature of the peoples living in the countries bordering the eastern part of the Danube.” Of her many visits to the Danube region in the late 1950s, Morath’s work in Romania was by far the most extensive and analytical. Inge Morath died in 2002. The Inge Morath Foundation is currently organizing exhibitions with her works. More details about it here.
