Todd Webb was an American photographer notable for documenting everyday life and architecture in cities such as New York City, Paris as well as from the American west. He was born on September 5, 1905, in Detroit. Webb was awarded two successive John Simon Guggenheim fellowships to photograph the pioneer trails that early American settlers followed to Oregon and California. While his contemporary, Robert Frank drove across the country during these years, he walked and photographed as he moved from East to West. Up until the 1980s, Webb photographed and produced a unique body of work, which has attained an important place in the annals of American photographic history. Frequently referred to as a historian with a camera, Webb's rich images document life all over the world. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is included in numerous museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. His life was like his photographs, at first, they seem very simple, without obvious tricks or manipulation, but upon closer examination, they are increasingly complex and marvelously subtle. Webb died on April 15, 2000, at the age of 94 in Auburn.

Under The El Third Avenue 1946 Todd Webb NYC Photograph Mid 20 Century WPA photo
By Todd Webb
Located in New York, NY
Todd Webb created "Under The El, Third Avenue 1946" in New York City during the Mid 20 Century in the WPA era. The sight image is 9 1/2 x 12, and 11 x 14 including the margin. This print was squired directly from the Todd Webb Archive. Housed in a stunning rough steel frame. In 1905, Charles Clayton ("Todd") Webb III was born in Detroit, Michigan. Having been a successful stockbroker in the 1920’s, he lost all of his earnings, and then some, in The Crash. During the Depression, Webb prospected for gold, worked as a forest ranger, and wrote short stories that have gone unpublished. It was during this exploratory period in the 1930s that he first picked up a camera. His interest and love for photography soon crowded out his writing ambitions, and he was able to do the two things he loved the most: travel, meet people, and photograph them. In 1938 Webb joined the Chrysler Camera Club in Detroit, where he met aspiring photographer Harry Callahan. Through a workshop from Ansel Adams, Webb's interest in the sharp focus technique of "straight photography" was confirmed. After serving in World War II, Todd Webb moved to New York where he nurtured a friendship with Alfred Stieglitz and his wife Georgia O’Keeffe who introduced him to Beaumont Newhall, and later Newhall curated the first major exhibition of Webb's photographs for The Museum of The City of New York. Also during this time, Todd worked for Roy Stryker and the Standard Oil Company. In 1949 Todd Webb returned to Paris, and met his wife Lucille, remaining in France for the next four years. In both 1955 and 1956, Todd Webb was awarded two successive John Simon Guggenheim fellowships to photograph the pioneer trails that early America settlers followed to Oregon and California. While his contemporary, Robert Frank drove across the country during these years, Todd walked and photographed as he moved from East to West. Up until the 1980's, Todd Webb photographed...
