Marion Palfi considered herself a social scientist rather than an artist. She intended her photographs to have a social instead of a commercial purpose; therefore she seldom sold them. Between 1946 and 1972, Palfi created a photographic study meant to reveal injustice in the United States, titled Invisible in America.
