In the early 1990s, the American photography historian Jane Livingston attempted to bring together, under the term "New York School of Photography", a number of the actors of the photographic revolution that shook the streets of the megalopolis between 1935 and 1965. Unprecedented expressive and formal freedom, assumed social and sometimes political commitment, the desire to connect with new pictorial and poetic forms, in-depth knowledge of the history of their medium and, above all, the ambition of an author's language: so many common traits that can be assigned to this generation, the foundations of which can be found in the inaugural works of Walker Evans or Henri Cartier-Bresson. This book takes Jane Livingston's reflections further, bringing together a group of twenty-two photographers and presenting their most representative works of this "New York School", from Lisette Model and Sid Grossman to Ted Croner or Helen Levitt, via Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Saul Leiter, William Klein, Bruce Dadvison, and many others, often little known... With, as a common denominator, their fascination for the overflowing vitality generated by "the Big Apple", this city with its mythical geography which, according to legend, "never sleeps".
