Ted Croner American

Not on view

Croner's strong graphic style precociously presaged the work of Robert Frank, William Klein, and other streetwise photographers of the 1950s. While still in his mid-twenties and a student of Alexey Brodovitch at the New School, Croner produced a series of extraordinary photographs of New York City that are filled with blurred figures and the explosive flares of street lights and automobile headlights at night. Impetuous, rough, and dissonant, the photographs are near-perfect reflections of post-war urban America.
