Añadir al carritoDust Jacket Included. "A near fine copy bound in finely woven black oblong cloth boards stamped brightly in white lettering on the front boards and along the spine. Very lean and tight throughout with 50 numbered black and white photographs by Helen Levitt. In a splendid, crisp striking dust jacket with Levitt's photograph of 4…boys on the front panel and on the spine. With just a touch of wear to the bottom of the spine ends and some tiny chipping to the top edges. The jacket is price-clipped at the top right-hand corner of the front flap. A beautiful, collectors copy of this iconic photographic work with the James Agee essay which frames the photographs. Publishers Note: "Helen Levitt took most of the photographs in this book in the 1940s in the streets of what is now Spanish Harlem; James Agees essay was written in the late 1940s, when he and Helen Levitt planned this book, and remained unpublished at his death in 1955. The photographs following page 8 are arranged in a numbered sequence suggested by the essay, and the form in which pictures and text are being presented corresponds as closely as possible to the writers and the photographers original intentions for the book." "Helen Levitt was the first American photographer to fully comprehend the essence of Henri Cartier-Bresson's photographic message and put it into practice. Like Cartier-Bresson, she understood how to combine intuition and intellect to forge sophisticated, lyrical compositions from commonplace events" (New York Times). According to ArtForum, "Levitt may well be the most celebrated and least known photographer of her time." "Though it did not see print until 1965, A Way of Seeing, Helen Levitt's first published collection of photographs was essentially completed in 1948. All the pictures in it had been taken over the previous decade in the streets of Yorkville, Harlem, and the Lower East Side, and many of them had already been on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. James Agee, dead ten years in 1965, had written his essay for the book in 1946 Although Agee may not have been the first writer to apply the word lyrical to Levitt's marvelously serendipitous images of urban street theater, his essay was for some time their most persuasive critical frame. In this edition, his text literally brackets the 50 photos, which are arranged in an episodic montage-bleak, antic, poignant; sometimes melodramatic, often comic-at once suggestively narrative and as ephemeral as a passing glance" (Roth, 178). First Edition with "First Published in 1965 by the Viking Press" on the copyright page; no subsequent printings listed." 1st Edition: With "First Published in 1965 by the Viking Press.". A lovely copy of the first major collection of Helen Levitt's work, New York street photography accompanied by an essay written by James Agee. (ilustrador).

Oblong quarto, original black cloth, illustrated with 50 black-and-white photogravures.ÂFine in a near fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing. Signed by Helen Levitt on the title page. Essay by James Agee. "James Agee, dead ten years in 1965, had written his essay for t…he book in 1946 Although he may not have been the first writer to apply the word lyrical to Levitt's marvelously serendipitous images of urban street theater, his essay was for some time their most persuasive critical frame.

In this timeless work, "Levitt's photographs are beautifulmajor, underrated works. Like Henri Cartier-Bresson, she achieves a rare balancing act: her pictures have sentiment without being sentimental" (Parr & Badger II:252).
