The exhibition offers a comprehensive anthology of her career through nine sections and more than 200 photographs. Along with a tour of the main body of her work, it includes unpublished photographs, works created in Mexico in 1941, and a large part of her color work, a technique she began using in the 1950s. In addition, the documentary In the Street<\/em> (1948), which she co-directed, is presented, along with a projection of her color slides.<\/p>\n Renowned especially for her work in street photography, Levitt deliberately avoided constructing an explicit narrative in her images and always preferred not to explain or comment on them. Far from detracting from her work, this attitude is one of the key aspects that make her artistic production so interesting. Despite this reserve, her photographs manage to establish a deep connection with the audience thanks to their ability to convey universal emotions and the complexity of human existence. <\/p>\n Curator: Joshua Chuang<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Childhood scenes… and enigmatic ones” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#969696″ icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”25px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”18px” body_font_size=”13px” body_line_height=”1.5em” body_link_text_color=”#e4031f” icon_font_size=”25px” global_colors_info=”{}”]His photographs of children in the streets of Hispanic Harlem and other poor neighborhoods in New York\u2014where the street clearly takes center stage as the setting for everyday life\u2014occupy a central place in his work and are probably the best known of his production. In them, Levitt transforms everyday scenes into images that captivate us with a certain mysterious appearance: brimming with subversive humor, mischief, and emotion, they are scenes of stark realism that, nevertheless, seem to hide as much as they reveal and invite multiple interpretations.[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”A pioneer with her own voice” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#969696″ icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”25px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”18px” body_font_size=”13px” body_line_height=”1.5em” body_link_text_color=”#e4031f” icon_font_size=”25px” global_colors_info=”{}”]Starting in 1934, Helen Levitt, along with other figures such as Consuelo Kanaga, Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange, and Tina Modotti, became one of the first women to make a name for themselves in the field of photography, a world traditionally dominated by men. In 1943, she was one of the pioneers to obtain a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which allowed her to devote herself professionally to her work.[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text
