Photography
Julien Levy was an American dealer and curator whose gallery in New York, active from the 1930s through the 1960s, championed Surrealism and modernist photography at a formative moment in American art history. He exhibited artists including Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, and the Surrealist circle during a period when such work remained marginal to mainstream institutional practice.
