Street Music 1936

"Street Music" is a black and white photograph taken by Nathan Lerner in 1936. It captures a lively scene of street musicians performing for a small crowd in an urban setting. The photograph's composition is unique, as it is taken from a perspective that is partially obscured by a figure in the foreground, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and contrast to the image. This photograph provides a glimpse into the social life and musical culture of the 1930s. Lerner's work is often categorized as street photography, social documentary, and Americana.
