They catch the evanescent configurations of gesture, movement, pose and expression that make visible the street as surreal theatre, and everyday life as art and mystery. The unguarded life of children at play became, understandably, Levitt's particular preoccupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLevitt resisted political readings of her work, and distanced herself from the progressive impulses of social documentary photography. However, class, race and gender are everywhere at work in Levitt's images. The diffidence and deceptive artlessness of the images also hide her devotion to both popular and avant-garde cinema, her attention to the work of other photographers, and her frequent visits to New York's museums and galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShamoon Zamir examines the different registers and contexts of Levitt's work through a reading of \u003cem\u003eNew York, 1939\u003c\/em\u003e, one of Levitt's iconic images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424244351212,"sku":"9781633451209","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781633451209.jpg?v=1774768789"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/shamoon-zamir.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
