Brooklyn-born photographer Helen Levitt (1913-2009) was an
assistant to Walker Evans and a friend of Henri Cartier-Bresson,
but forged her own path with fierce independence and endless
curiosity about the world around her. She is best known for her
street photography, capturing children at play on the streets of
Depression-era New York and chalk drawings on walls, but she also
cast her eye upon the adult world, seeking out moments of movement,
transience and theatricality. 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
