New York 1939

"New York" (1939) is a street photograph by Helen Levitt, a pioneer of the genre. The image captures a young girl, dressed in a dark dress and head scarf, standing in a doorway in New York City. The girl's intense expression and the darkened background create a sense of mystery and intimacy. Levitt was known for her ability to capture the candid moments of everyday life in the city, and "New York" is a prime example of her work. The photograph is a striking example of street photography's ability to document the human condition and the urban landscape.
