Following her first solo exhibition at MoMA in 1943, she devoted more than a decade to filmmaking, but returned to photography in the late 1950s and began to work in colour as well as black and white. Lyrical and witty, her images reveal the streets of New York as flowing with life and unexpected poetry.With 68 illustrations. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Helen Levitt's photographs from the 1930s and 1940s of the communities of New York City's Harlem are startling achievements of street photography. They catch the evanescent configurations of gesture, movement, pose and expression that make visible the street as surreal theatre, and everyday life as art and mystery. The unguarded life of children at play became, understandably, Levitt's particular preoccupation. Levitt resisted political readings of her work, and distanced herself from the progressive impulses of social documentary photography. But class, race and gender are everywhere at work in Levitt's images. The diffidence and deceptive artless of the images also hide her devotion to both popular and avant-garde cinema, attention to the work of other photographers, frequenting of New York's museums and galleries. Shamoon Zamir examines the different registers and contexts of Levitt's work through a reading of "New York, 1939", one of Levitt's iconic images.Each volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation on a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. A richly illustrated and lively essay illuminates the subject in detail and situates the work within the artist's life and career as well as within broader historical contexts. This series is an invaluable guide for exploring and interpreting some of the most beloved artworks in the Museum's collection. A close reading of Helen Levitt's famous photograph of three children at play on a New York stoop Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
