Joel Meyerowitz - New York City, 1963

Manhattan in the sixties.
A man looking straight at the camera.
Joel Meyerowitz is one of the first artists to have photographed in color, from the early 1960s: a lot of New York, then the rest of the United States and Europe. From the start, color was an obvious choice for him.
Meyerowitz was twenty years old and he did not know that it was looked down upon in the very conformist world of artistic photography where only black and white was considered.

Joel Meyerowitz (born March 6, 1938) is a street, portrait, and landscape photographer.
He was inspired by watching Robert Frank at work and quickly left his job as artistic director at an advertising agency to devote himself to street photography.
Like many great photographers before him, he started with a 35mm and black-and-white film, alongside Garry Winogrand, Tony Ray-Jones, Lee Friedlander, Tod Papageorge and Diane Arbus.
