Riassunto:

Weegee was the archetypal hard-boiled tabloid photographer. From the 1930s to the 1960s his images of murder, mayhem and the seamy inderside of New York set a new standard for immediacy and wit - and influenced a generation of of imitators. Working with a Speed Graphic and an on-camera flash, he shot in a stark, punchy, in-your-face style, often capturing his subjects in a startling blast of light.

This major retrospective showcases the best of his jolting work - and captures bygone New York at its most raucous, dangerous and outrageous. Here are Weegee's grisly murders, shocking accidents, gawking crowds and other signature crime-and-disaster shots, along with his equally arresting human interest and high society images - 265 high-impact images in all. Complete with interpretive essays, an annotated chronology and other documentation, this will be the definitive book on Weegee.
