New York c. 1942

"New York", a candid photograph by Helen Levitt, captures a moment of playful camaraderie between a group of young boys on a New York City street. The image, taken in 1942, exemplifies Levitt’s signature style of street photography, capturing the raw energy and vitality of everyday life. The children, dressed in their winter coats and hats, engage in a lively dance, their faces illuminated by a sense of carefree joy. Levitt's keen eye for detail, and her ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment, make this image a compelling and evocative testament to the spirit of New York City in the 1940s.
