Breitling Navitimer Quartz Chrono BT-220

Rudy Burckhardt (1914-1999) is known for his smart pictures of New York City, finding formal elegance in sidewalk grates as well as in streetscapes of Breitling Navitimer Quartz Chrono BT-218 buildings. The pictures of children at De Nagy haven't been shown before, and although the subject matter is not familiar, the Burckhardt touch is. The children in these 15 pictures were found in Tetuan, Morocco; Naples, Italy; Curacao; Mexico; Montgomery, Ala.; and Queens, N.Y. Most of them are street urchins, to use a contemporaneous term. What distinguishes the images is the sophisticated way Mr. Burckhardt placed the children in formal contexts related to their environment.

This exhibition at FIAF Breitling Navitimer Quartz Chrono BT-219 pictures of Paris taken by three American photographers, and pictures of New York taken by three French photographers. The show celebrates the 30th anniversary of "Mois de la Photo" (Photography Month) in Paris, and the pictures themselves come from that city's La Maison Europeenne de la Photographie.

The three French photographers, Bernard Pierre Wolff (born 1930), Jeanloup Sieff (1933-2000) and Raymond Depardon (born 1942), were attracted to the sights on the Big Apple's streets. Mr. Sieff's witty "New York, 1964" has four faces: a woman and a man seen in the window of the bus they are riding, and Breitling Navitimer Quartz Chrono BT-220 before and after pictures of a mustachioed gent in a Pepto-Bismol ad on the side of the bus. Two of Mr. Wolff's pictures feature timepieces: In "New York. Horloger, 1974" a man is seen at work in the window of a watch repair shop, and in "New York, 1984" a man who seems to have been done in by time is caught in front of a billboard painting of the face of a watch that is as big as he is.

The images in "Wijnanda Deroo: Inside New York Eateries" are about color and composition and fun. I assume Ms. Deroo was involved in hanging the exhibition, and anyone who Breitling Navitimer Quartz Chrono BT-221 allow "Tavern on the Green, Central Park, 2009" to be placed next to "Yonah Schimmel's Knishes, 137 Houston Street, 2009," and "Papaya Dog, 42nd & 9th Avenue, 2009" to bump up against "Cafe des Artistes, 1 West 67th Street, 2009" has a droll sense of humor. The Dutch photographer understands that restaurants are fictions we inhabit, stage sets on which we enact dramas of eating, and presents them in a stylish but straightforward manner, inviting us to select which roles we want to play.

The eateries are empty of diners, wait staff and cooks, except for one blurred figure behind the counter in the cavernous "Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant, Grand Central Terminal, 2009." But the tables are set in those restaurants that have napery, as if the curtain has just gone up and we are expected to make an entrance. Ms. Deroo's compositional approach is varied, and she appreciates the dark wood paneling in "The Oak Room, 10 Central Park South, 2009" as well as the gaudy Indian colors of "Milon, 93 First Avenue, 2009." The swank and the plebeian are treated with equal respect.
