Following World War II, Todd Webb, a recently discharged Navy veteran, moved to New York City and took pictures of the city’s residents, booming waterfront, and rising skyline. Inspired by our upcoming exhibition A City Seen: Todd Webb's Post War New York, 1945-1960 (opens April 20th) join us for a series of conversations to examine Webb’s masterly but little-known work as a street photographer and the immediate postwar decades.
