One of the great photographers of the twentieth century, Helen Levitt took the activity of city streets as her primary subject, paying special attention to the children for whom the street served as a playground. This presentation of photographs drawn from the UMFA's collection includes representative works from the late 1930s and early 1940s—when Levitt emerged as a key member of the New York School photographers—as well as later photographs from her long and accomplished career.
