American street photographer Leon Levinstein is much admired within
the photographic community, but little known outside of it. Solo
exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada in 1995 and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2010 brought him to the
attention of many, but his dynamic and original work is yet to
achieve the recognition it deserves. Levinstein's fearless and
unsentimental black and white images, whether shot in New York
City, Coney Island, Haiti, Mexico or India, possess in Metropolitan
Museum of Art Curator of Photographs Jeff Rosenheim's words,
"graphic virtuosity - seen in raw, expressive gestures and
seemingly monumental bodies - balanced by an unusual compassion for
his off-beat subjects." In 1975, at the age of 65, Levinstein
received a grant from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. His
intention, in his own words, was to photograph "as wide a spectrum
of the American scene as my experience and vision will allow." This
long-awaited book fulfils this ambitious goal.
