Arthur Leipzig was an American photographer who documented postwar New York City street life and childhood through candid 35mm black-and-white images. His work emphasizes gesture and social observation among working-class communities, combining formal clarity with empathetic attention to everyday moments. Leipzig's photographs appeared regularly in Life and Colliers during the 1940s and 1950s, establishing him as a key practitioner of humanistic street photography in the postwar period.
