Monday's Photography Inspiration - Hansel Mieth

Hansel Mieth, a pioneering photojournalist, left an indelible mark on the mid-20th century American photography scene with her poignant and socially conscious imagery. Born on February 5, 1909, in Germany, Mieth’s journey into the world of photography would eventually lead her to the heart of some of the most significant social and political movements in the United States. Ford worker and family…

Tobacco Harvest 1946

Photographer: Marie Hansen (American, 1918-1969)

After graduating from the University of Missouri, Marie Hansen went to the Louisville Courier-Journal where she was a photographer and photo editor. In 1942, she was offered a job to join the team of LIFE staff photographers as their third female staff photographer (Margaret Bourke-White and Hansel Mieth were the other two at the time). Hansen’s first big story for LIFE was her photo-essay on the WAAC’s, the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, which was first organized in the United States, May 12, 1942. In 1945, Hansen went to Hollywood for LIFE, where Joseph Pasternak (Hungarian-born film producer working at MGM) asked her to audition. After a screen test, she was offered a movie contract, but turned it down because she realized she was more interested in what was going on behind the camera than in front of it. After Hollywood, Hansen was stationed in Washington, D.C. where she was assigned to the White House during most of World War II. General Dwight D. Eisenhower chose one of Hansen’s portraits of him as his “official” photograph. In 1946, Hansen left LIFE as a staff photographer, and she and her husband David Wesley toured the world as a writer/photographer team.

I’ve been waiting two years to share this news. I’m not really sure how this came to be, but certainly it is a highlight of wishing my work out into the world. 26 years ago in a crowd of many I could not take my eyes off a dancer at the Schemitzun Powwow and, I think for the first time in my life, approached a stranger to ask for a portrait. This is what we made together, “Tommy in His Car”. And now it is in this stunning new book, Our America, A Photographic History, by Ken Burns with an introduction by Sarah Hermanson Meister. Oh, and it is on the facing page of an image by Sally Mann, and just page widths away from the iconic works of Hansel Mieth, Elliott Erwitt, Minor White, Walter Iooss, Richard Avedon, Danny Lyon, Eve Arnold, Dennis Stock, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Gordon Parks, Robert Frank, Bruce Davidson, Jerome Liebling, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, Eudora Welty, Helen Levitt, Marion Post Wolcott, Walker Evans, Margaret Bourke-White, Paul Strand, Charles Sheeler, Alfred Stieglitz, Laura Gilpin, Lewis Hine, Edward Curtis, Mathew Brady, Timothy O’Sullivan, and Carleton E. Watkins. There are many more known and unknown photographers, but these are the names that leapt out at me when I finally got to hold the book in my hands last night.I’m kinda excited! Many thanks to Tommy Christian, Ken Burns, and Susanna Steisel.

Der Hansel-Mieth-Preis 2023

Hansel und Otto, Weggefährten berühmter Fotografen wie Robert Capa und Eugene W. Smith, trugen damit zu einer neuen, engagierten Reportagefotografie bei: Sie forderten Respekt statt Almosen für die Armen, nahmen Partei, ohne das Elend zu romantisieren. Denn, so Hansel Mieth, “Mitleid ist das erste Unrecht.” Von 1937 an arbeitete die eigenwillige Schwäbin als Fotoreporterin beim neu gegründeten…
