Elliott Erwitt

Las Vegas, Nevada

Elliott Erwitt's *Las Vegas, Nevada* is a gelatin silver print that captures the city's striking contradictions with his signature blend of wit and keen observation. Printed later from his original negative, the photograph exemplifies Erwitt's mastery of the decisive moment, finding humor and humanity amid the spectacle of American consumer culture.
