Hellen Levitt photography.



There was a crisis in the 1930's. Photographers wanted to expose the problems of what was going on during that time. But Hellen didnt want to do that. So, she took a different path. She took pictures of children of he New York neighborhoods. She was fascinated with the sounds, dance, books, and foreign films. She went to college for photography for years. While she was in college, she was taught three lessons: that the picture could reveal mystery and fantasy within a daily life, there can be poetry in pictures, and that what she takes pictures of is art. The picture is of two girls playing with tissue paper in 1942.
