Drawn from the International Center of Photography's archives, this
book highlights the incomparable style and fascinating career of
Weegee, one of New York City's quintessential press photographers.
For a decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee made a name for himself
snapping crime scenes, victims, and perpetrators. Armed with a
Speed Graphic camera and a police-band radio, Weegee often beat the
cops to the story, determined to sell his pictures to the
sensation-hungry tabloids. His stark black-and-white photos were
often lurid and unsettling. Yet, as this beautifully produced
volume shows, they were also brimming with humanity. Designed as a
series of "dossiers," this book follows Weegee's transformation
from a freelancer to a photo-detective. It explores his
relationship with the tabloid press and gangster culture and
reveals his intimate knowledge of New York's darkest corners. It
provides readers with a rich historical experience--a New York City
"noir" shot through the lens of one of its most iconoclastic
figures.
