Review
'When Weegee started out he was considered a tabloid photographer, someone out there taking lurid, disgusting shots that were not for ‘nice’ people. And now today he is considered an artist, or at least an art photographer. But more importantly he recorded the times, the scene, the New York City he saw around him, the five boroughs. He captured not just death and disaster – concepts which would later entrance everyone from Andy Warhol to Damien Hirst – but people, places, buildings, that otherwise would indeed have vanished for ever.' (Tana Jamowitz, author of The Slaves of New York, Independent)
'Presented beautifully.'(British Journal of Photography)
'[A] bawdy collection packed with murderers and corpses, overweight cabaret stars too gaudily made-up, and tatooed joes lolling on the beach. Weegee's pictures have an urgency that far outlives the tabloids in which they first appeared.' (Daily Telegraph)
'A great introduction to the Weegee world.' (Guardian)

Seller: Birkitt's Books, SARASOTA, FL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, front cover has a sticker remnant at the bottom, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Weegee (Arthur Fellig) photographed the undercurrent of big-city life with a love of the sensational. He captured not the fires, but the firemen; not the gun-men, but their corpses; not the fascinated spectators at calamites, but the agonized, shocked victims. His photographs of unabashed suffering, boisterous joy and boiling laughter have an unsettling beauty, as well as the permanent power of unique images which, once seen are never erased.
