The American Way
8. The American Way: Photo by Margaret Bourke-White, 1937
In Margaret Bourke-White's indelible, sadly ironic Depression-era photo, African-American victims of the Louisville Flood wearily assemble to receive food and clothing from a Red Cross relief station. The juxtaposition with the billboard is, clearly, nothing short of surreal -- but it took a keen eye to see the picture whole. Bourke-White, one of the LIFE's first staff photographers, later said that when the magazine's founder Henry Luce saw the difference between her flood photos and those from the news services, he realized that his photographers deserved credit lines.
The American Way: Fotografie realizata de Margaret Bourke-White, 1937
In trista, ironica si de neuitat era fotografica a Crizei, surprinsa atat de bine de Margaret Bourke-White, victimele afro-americane ale inundatiilor din Louisvile se incoloneaza sa primeasca mancare si imbracaminte de la un punct de Crucea Rosie. Juxtapunerea cu afisul este, in mod evident, nu departe de suprarealism, insa a fost nevoie de un ochi abil pentru a vedea imaginea in ansamblu. Bourke-White, unul din primii fotografi ai revistei LIFE, povestea mai tarziu ca in momentul in care fondatorul Henry Luce a vazut diferenta dintre fotografiile ei si cele de la celelalte reviste care mediatizau stirea, a realizat ca fotografii sai merita credit.
