Biographical Note
Documentary photographer Russell Lee was born in Illinois in 1903.
Trained as a chemical engineer and a painter, he took his first photographs in
1935. He worked for the Farm Security Administration from 1936 to 1942 and
remained active in the field of documentary photography until 1977. Lee, who
enjoyed a reputation for technical excellence and sensitivity to his subjects,
moved to Austin, Texas, in 1947. Although he often traveled as a free-lance
photographer and on assignment for magazines, corporations, the federal
government, and the University of Texas, Austin remained his home and Texas a
major focus of his work until his death in 1986. From 1965 to 1973 he taught
photography at the University of Texas.
