Helen Leavitt Photographs
Helen Levitt Photographs
On view through June 12, 2011
"Helen Levitt has had the uncanny ability to offer us those brief, revealing moments in everyday life that give our time here meaning." ~ Robert Coles
One of the great photographers of the twentieth century, Helen Levitt took the activity of city streets as her primary subject, paying special attention to the children for whom the street served as a playground. This presentation of photographs drawn from the UMFA's collection includes representative works from the late 1930s and early 1940s–when Levitt emerged as a key member of the New York School photographers–as well as later photographs from her long and accomplished career. Together these works highlight Levitt's astonishing capacity for capturing lyrical and mysterious moments in the everyday life of the city. This exhibition is presented with support from Albion Financial Group.
