WILLIAM KLEIN (New York, 1926- Paris, 2022) . "Simone + Nina, Piazza di Spagna, Rome," 1960. Gelatin silver print. Signed, titled, dated in pencil (on reverse). Provenance: private collection Solomon New York. Measurements: 45 x 37 cm (image); 51 x 40,8 cm (frame). The photograph "Simone + Nina, Piazza di Spagna, Rome" by William Klein, taken in 1960, shows his innovative style and his commitment to street photography, his desire to take fashion photography out of the studio. On this occasion, he plays with the rhythmic and contrasting line of the zebra crossing. The composition is elaborate but pretends to be casual, which results in a great visual achievement: the vespa (iconic element of Italian streets), the agitation of this neuralgic square of Rome, the elegant silhouettes of Nina and SImone... compose a kind of film still. Such is the spontaneous impression and the narrative richness it conveys. William Klein was an American photographer and film director. Although born in New York and educated at the City College of New York, Klein's activity was mainly in France. He had directed a number of feature films (including the 1966 film "Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo" and the anti-American satire "Mr. Freedom"). In the photographic field, Klein won the Nadar Award in 1956. In 1947, while in the army, he traveled for the first time to Paris and since then lived and worked in this city, with which he fell in love. In 1948 he enrolled at the Sorbonne University, where he was a student of Fernand Léger, among others. His best known works revolve around fashion and street photography, of which he was considered one of the creators and masters. Awards: In 1988 he was awarded the culture prize of the German photography association. In 1990 he received the International Award of the Hasselblad Foundation. In 2005 he received the PhotoEspaña award. Photography books: 1956. Life Is Good & Good for You in New York: Trance witness revels, Éditions su Seul, Paris. 1959.

HELEN LEVITT (New York, 1913-2009). "NYC. Masked children on stop", New York, 1940. Gelatin silver, later print. Signed, dated and inscribed "N.Y.C." in pencil (on reverse). Provenance: From the private collection of Schroeder New Jersey. Measurements: 19.4 x 27.7 cm (image); 28 x 34.8 cm (paper). Helen Levitt is considered one of the most relevant photographers of the 20th century and one of the forerunners of today's independent cinema. She belongs to the so-called New York school, which defended a direct and aseptic street photography. She was a student of Walker Evans and Cartier-Bresson, Ben Shanhn and the circle of the Photo League of New York, from whom she learned that search for the instant. Her way of capturing gestures, bodies in movement, the language of the street, have turned her work almost into an anthropological study. In 1939 Helen Levitt's photos were already published in magazines such as Fortune, US Camera, Minicam and PM. Her best known work is in black and white and in the documentary genre, putting her lens on the streets and the inhabitants of the city, especially the children. Proof of this is the exhibition "Helen Lewitt: Photographs of Children" that MoMA in New York dedicated to her in 1943. During her trip to Mexico in 1941 she also portrayed street children. In the 1970s, Levitt photographed the streets of New York with color slides and implemented it into her own language as another resource. It should be noted that he always had a vocation for filmmaking: it was in the 1940s when he made his first documentary film projects, under the orders of the Spanish film director Luis Buñuel, who was exiled in the United States because of the Spanish Civil War. In 1948 he directed the film "In the Street" and "The Quiet One".
