About

Although Morgan, one of the founders of the photography magazine Aperture, is best known for her studies of modern dance, she also created photomontages and light drawings. Morgan said: “Whether my work is large or small, abstract or realistic, the one thing that must be present is rhythmic vitality . . . It doesn’t matter if it is dance or montage or people or nature. There always has to be the presence of energy.” For more information:
