About
Helen Levitt's classic work, with an essay by James Agee, is here made available again in an enlarged edition with twenty additional images.
Levitt began photographing in New York City in the late 1930s. When she and James Agee planned this book in 1946 and he wrote the introduction for it, the photography was still very much work in progress. Agee, who was an early and enthusiastic admirer of her pictures, wrote most perceptively of their special quality; "The overall preoccupation in the photographs is, it seems to me, with innocence- not as the word has come to be misunderstood and debased, but in its full, original wildness, fierceness, and instinct for grace and form."
