Marion Post Wolcott was born in Montclair, N.J., in 1910; died in Santa Barbara, CA, in 1990. Best known for her work for the FSA (Farm Security Administration). During the years 1938 to 1941, she traveled alone primarily through the South, New England, and Midwest. Her powerful images of coal miners, tenant farmers, crop pickers, and vivid landscapes reveal a deep connection with her subjects, as well as her strong points of view, social and political. Marion continued to photograph throughout her life, turning her camera on her young family, and later on people and places in the Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan,Pakistan and India.
Marion's work is in most major collections and continues to be exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe.
The archives are owned by her daughter, Linda Wolcott Moore, and co-managed by Marion's granddaughter, Robin Lee Moore. Please feel free to contact either, or both, for further information and assistance.
