Street Seen, a companion volume to an exhibition, highlights six photographers whose imagery encapsulates the period’s most salient aesthetic achievements. Lisette Model’s unflinching look at the cacophony of the urban environment; Louis Faurer’s empathic portraits of unglamorous eccentrics in Times Square; Ted Croner’s haunting night images; Saul Leiter’s painterly glimpses of elusive moments; William Klein’s graphic, confrontational style; and Robert Frank’s documentation of American ideals gone awry—these and other beautifully reproduced photographs communicate the emotional resonance of everyday life in postwar America.
An essay by Lisa Hostetler explores the artistic revolution that took place after the war and reveals the principles of spontaneity and subjective interpretation that guided these photographers as they sought to make sense of a new social landscape.
