Cultural recommendation for the weekend
Exhibition “Helen Levitt. Urban Lyric. Photographs 1936-1993”
“Helen Levitt is one of the great American photographers of the second half of the XNUMXth century. Her work stands out for her singular gaze and for her documentary style, focused on urban life, especially in the popular areas of New York. Her images capture small moments of everyday life, seemingly banal moments but with a great metaphorical sense of the social conditions of our time.
The exhibition, produced by the ICO Foundation, presents nearly 120 images taken from 1936 to the 90s, as well as the documentary film In the Street, a precursor to independent American cinema, which he made together with the writer James Agee and the painter Janice Loeb in 1945.”
