Krátky popis
Published to accompany a major touring exhibition, this is the most
comprehensive survey to date of the groundbreaking American
photographer Helen Levitt.Over six decades, Helen Levitt
(1913–2009) explored the streets of her native New York with a
handheld camera. Influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson, she found
inspiration in the theatre and spontaneity of the street, capturing
everyday moments in urban life and forging a distinct visual
language from her private observations. Exuding a keen warmth and
sensitivity for human gesture and movement, her photographs
capture, in James Agee’s words, the ‘pure spontaneity of true folk
art’.Accompanying a major touring exhibition of Levitt’s work, the
first of its kind to draw from her complete archive, this ambitious
publication showcases her entire output. It not only includes her
best-known photographs, but also features rarely seen early works
from her first year using a Leica and all fifty works from the
original edit of her classic 1965 photobook A Way of Seeing, with
record prints preserved by Levitt herself.Essays by a range of
scholars and specialists hone in on key thematic, technical and
biographical aspects of Levitt’s life and work, including an
examination of the photos she took during her trip to Mexico in
1941, her innovative use of colour in the 1950s and her late work
from the 1980s, providing an authoritative insight into one of the
most influential photographers of the 20th century.
