About the book
As a passionate observer and chronicler of everyday street life in New York, Helen Levitt (1913 2009) spent decades documenting residents of the city's poorer neighbourhoods such as Lower East Side and Harlem. Levitt's oeuvre stands out for her sense of dynamics and surrealistic sense of humour, and her employment of colour photography was revolutionary: Levitt numbers among those photographers who pioneered and established colour as a means of artistic expression. The book features around 130 of her iconic works.
