Description: Helen Levitt: New York: MoMA One on One Series by Shamoon Zamir Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A close reading of Helen Levitts famous photograph of three children at play on a New York stoop Publisher Description Helen Levitts photographs from the 1930s and 1940s of the communities of New York Citys 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, Levitts 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 Levitts 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 Yorks museums and galleries. Shamoon Zamir examines the different registers and contexts of Levitts work through a reading of "New York, 1939", one of Levitts 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 artists 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 Museums collection.
