  • Catalogue Essay

    This photograph comes originally from the collection of Jacob Bean, Curator of Drawings at The Metropolitan Museum from 1960 to the early 1990s. In the 1940s, Bean worked for pioneering gallerist Julien Levy who exhibited Bravo’s photographs in 1935 in the now-famous Documentary and Anti-Graphic exhibition. It is likely that Bean acquired this print from Levy.
