| Barbra Morgan began as a West Coast painter and advocate for modern art. She took up photography in earnest after moving to New York City in 1930, and after attending a performance of the Martha Graham Dance Company became the definitive photographer of the pioneers of modern dance. Morgan formed lasting associations with influential fine-art photographers of her time and was co-founder with Ansel Adams, Minor White and others of Aperture Magazine in 1952. |
