Her father and uncle ran a left-wing bookstore in a working-class neighborhood. In 1925 her training as a Montessori educator led her to London for an internship. Tudor-Hart began studying at the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1929, and she attended Walter Peterhans\u2019s photography class there in 1930. During a 1931 stay in England, her connections to the Communist Party led to her deportation, and she returned to Vienna. There she produced photographs for the Soviet news agency TASS. Her social-documentary photo essays were published in periodicals such as the \u201cArbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung (AIZ)\u201d as well as \u201cKuckuck\u201d. In 1933 she was arrested for spying for the Communist Party, and large portions of her photographic work were confiscated. She was able to avoid conviction by marrying the doctor Alexander Tudor-Hart. That same year, the couple emigrated to England, where their son was born in 1936. Tudor-Hart\u2019s photography provided the family\u2019s sole source of income while her husband was serving as a doctor in the Spanish Civil War. She concentrated on documentary photography. For example, she created a photo essay on child education for England and Wales\u2019s Ministry of Education. Her continued espionage activities repeatedly drew the scrutiny of the British secret service. This constant surveillance led her to destroy large portions of her work. Impoverished, she moved to Brighton, where she worked as an antique dealer. Edith Tudor-Hart died there on 12 May 1973.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edith Tudor-Hart, n\u00e9e Suschitzky, was born in Vienna on 28 August 1908.
