The photographs of Helen Levitt (1913-2009) evolve in a world free from decorum, the shackles of conventions and social norms. More than a style or a personal standard, this "way of seeing" is based on the fleetingness, the impromptu and the surprisingly theatrical character of the dialogue situations captured on the spot in the working-class neighborhoods of New York. Helen Levitt has always favored the enigma and humor of everyday behaviors that constitute the fabric of social life.
