Enfant réfugié, 1948 Tirée par l'artiste à New York Épreuve argentique d'époque sur papier fort, 177x232 mm, datée, annotée et tamponnée Little Refugee, 1948 Printed by the artist in New York Vintage gelatin silver double-weight print, 177x232 mm, dated and annotated, artist wetstamp, old annotations Morris Engel a New Yorker who had worked at the Photo League and the short-lived newspaper PM, first came to me at Ladies' Home Journal with a sensitive story of a NY shoeshine boy. I assigned him to do several families for "How America Lives." He asked to shoot film as well as stills on an Idaho family, so successfully that he switched to making films, with his girl friend, later his wife, Ruth Orkin Their "The Little Fugitive," made for a pittance, became a prize winner. One largely unforeseen result of the second World War was the flood of émigrés it brought to America, partly as a result of the transformation of the colonial world. A number of socially conscious photographers, mindful perhaps of the great pictures taken in the early 20th century by Alfred Stieglitz Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine, photographed the arrival of refugees at the piers on the West side of Manhattan. Dennis Stock who later joined Magnum, won the first prize in a much heralded competition for young photographers conducted by Life magazine. His subject? The arrival of refugees. I find these photos by Morris Engel and Clemens Kalischer very moving.
