Brooklyn-born photographer Helen Levitt (1913–2009) was an assistant to Walker Evans and a friend of Henri Cartier-Bresson, but she carved her own path with fierce independence and an 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 color 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, this book is a captivating tribute to Helen Levitt's remarkable career and a testament to her ability to capture the essence of the city she loved.
