Stanley Kubrick Photographs

Explore a formative phase in the career of one of the 20th century’s most renowned motion picture directors.

Stanley Kubrick was just 17 when he sold his first photograph to the pictorial magazine Look in 1945. In his photographs, many unpublished, Kubrick trained the camera on his native city, drawing inspiration from the nightclubs, street scenes, and sporting events that made up his first assignments, and capturing the pathos of ordinary life with a sophistication that belied his young age. Through a Different Lens: Stanley Kubrick Photographs features more than 120 photographs by Kubrick from the Museum’s Look magazine archive, along with vintage Look magazines in which many of the photographs were published. Through a Different Lens evokes the grit, glamor, and resilience of New York City, while telling the story of how a young amateur photographer from the Bronx took his first steps toward becoming one of the most important and influential film directors of the twentieth century.

Todd Webb’s Postwar New York, 1945-1960

Moments of stillness and change — discover an unrecognized master of street photography.

A City Seen: Todd Webb’s Postwar New York, 1945-1960 examines New York through the keen eyes, and lens, of master street photographer Todd Webb. Featuring more than 100 images and accompanied by entries from Webb’s own journal, this poetic collection of images highlights Webb’s personal exploration of the city that enthralled him, while providing an expansive document of a city in the midst of vibrant change. Webb’s images captured a city of contrasts—from skyscrapers to tenements, high-powered businessmen to children at play. Also featured are portraits by Webb of members of his intimate circle of friends, including Alfred Stieglitz, Berenice Abbott, Harry Callahan, Gordon Parks, and Lisette Model. Although Webb never became famous, his peers recognized his outsized talent and unique perspective, which is only now being discovered by the rest of the world.

Exhibited at the Museum of the City of New York April 20, 2017 through September 4, 2017.
