One hundred years after the birth of the photographer Inge Morath, the Museo di Palazzo Grimani in Venice is dedicating the exhibition Fotografare da Venezia in poi (Photographing from Venice Onwards), visitable until 4 June 2023, to the artist. Many of the approximately 200 shots on display were taken in the Lagoon, where Inge’s passion for photography was born. It was the autumn light of a rainy day in Venice that caught her eye. She had never thought of becoming a photographer, but from that first click she understood that this would become her language.

She returned four years later, in 1955, sent by the Magnum photographic agency to capture views of the city to accompany a book by Mary McCarthy, Venice Observed. Beginning in the 1950s Morath travelled extensively as a photojournalist. In addition to the focus on Venice, the exhibition presents her main reportages from Spain, Iran, France, England and Ireland, the United States of America, China and Russia.
