More Information
Educated at the New School for Social Research, New York University, and the University of Vienna, Wolcott worked for Life, Fortune, and other magazines and was an innovator in color photography beginning in the early 1940s. From 1938 to 1942, she worked for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documenting an incredible breadth of economic realities in the wake of the Great Depression, from unhoused people and migrant workers to middle-class and wealthy subjects.
