The artwork entitled “Los Angeles (Man with Hat from Behind)” is a creation of the artist Vivian Maier, dated 1955. This piece belongs to the Street Photography movement and is classified as a photograph.
In the artwork, the viewer sees the back of a man wearing a hat, captured from behind. The man’s attire is formal, suggestive of mid-20th century fashion, and the scene is set against the backdrop of urban architecture, likely representing Los Angeles. The composition focuses on the back of the man’s head, emphasizing the simplicity and anonymity often characteristic in street photography. The buildings in the background are softly out of focus, subtly framing the subject and creating a juxtaposition between human presence and the urban environment.
