I See a City: Todd Webb's New York focuses on the work of
photographer Todd Webb produced in New York City in the 1940s and
1950s. Webb photographed the city day and night, in all seasons and
in all weather. Buildings, signage, vehicles, the passing throngs,
isolated figures, curious eccentrics, odd corners, windows,
doorways, alleyways, squares, avenues, storefronts, uptown and
downtown, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Harlem. He created a richly
textured portrait of the everyday life and architecture of New
York. Webb's work is clear, direct, focused, layered with light and
shadow, and captures the soul of these places shaped by the
friction and frisson of humanity. A native of Detroit, Webb studied
photography in the 1930s under the guidance of Ansel Adams at the
Detroit Camera Club, served as a navy photographer during World War
II, and then went on to become a successful postwar photographer.
His work is in many museum collections, including The Museum of
Modern Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in
Washington. With 167 illustrations
