New York City 2000

Elliott Erwitt's iconic black and white photograph, "New York City," captured in 2000, embodies his signature street photography style. Known for his playful and ironic observations, Erwitt juxtaposes a human figure disguised as a bulldog with a real bulldog, both seated on a stoop. This humorous snapshot, typical of Erwitt's work, invites viewers to consider the unexpected and find humor in the everyday. The composition's simplicity, with the figures framed against a backdrop of a typical New York City street, amplifies the absurdity of the scene.
