Note(s) : I See a City: Todd Webb's New York' focuses on the work of photographer Todd Webb
produced in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s. Webb photographed the city day and
night, in all seasons and in all weather. Buildings, signage, vehicles, the passing
throngs, isolated figures, curious eccentrics, odd corners, windows, doorways, alleyways,
squares, avenues, storefronts, uptown and downtown, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Harlem.
He created a richly textured portrait of the everyday life and architecture of New
York. Webb's work is clear, direct, focused, layered with light and shadow, and captures
the soul of these places shaped by the friction and frisson of humanity.00A native
of Detroit, Webb studied photography in the 1930s under the guidance of Ansel Adams
at the Detroit Camera Club, served as a navy photographer during World War II, and
then went on to become a successful postwar photographer. His work is in many museum
collections, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Gallery
of Art in Washington
