Again I feel attracted by the old black and white photos. As well as recently we were revising the work of Diane Arbus this time we go with another recognized photographer neoyorkina: Helen Levitt. This artist is considered to be one of big photographers of the XXth century, she identified by his black and white works of documentary genre.
It paints the portrait of the streets and the inhabitants of the city of New York, especially to the children. She was a pupil of Walker Evans and of Cartier-Bresson and she had his contact with the movies and the documentary at the end of the 40, influenced by Luis Buñuel.
Levitt was feeling intrigued by the drawings done in the path that, during this time, were proper of the infantile culture. That's why when a Leica was bought it began to photograph to these works as well as to the children who were creating it. A series of really advisable images. Do not get lost them.
