Further DetailsTitle: I See a City: Todd Webb's New York Condition: New Description: I See a City: Todd Webb’s New York focuses on the work of photographer Todd Webb produced in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s. Webb photographed the city day and night, in all seasons and in all weather. Buildings, signage, vehicles, the passing throngs, isolated figures, curious eccentrics, odd corners, windows, doorways, alleyways, squares, avenues, storefronts, uptown and downtown, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Harlem. He created a richly textured portrait of the everyday life and architecture of New York. Webb’s work is clear, direct, focused, layered with light and shadow, and captures the soul of these places shaped by the friction and frisson of humanity. A native of Detroit, Webb studied photography in the 1930s under the guidance of Ansel Adams at the Detroit Camera Club, served as a navy photographer during World War II, and then went on to become a successful postwar photographer. His work is in many museum collections, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.With 167 illustrations Author: Todd Webb EAN: 9780500545522 Contributor: Sean Corcoran (Text by), Daniel Okrent (Text by) ISBN: 9780500545522 Format: Hardback Language: English Country/Region of Manufacture: GB Item Height: 279mm Item Length: 223mm Genre: Arts & Photography Publisher: Thames & Hudson Ltd Release Date: 06/03/2021 Item Weight: 1110g Release Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
