Requirements: .PDF reader, 6.27MB
Overview: Arthur Fellig (June 12, 1899-December 26, 1968), known by his pseudonym Weegee, was a photographer and photojournalist, known for his stark black and white street photography in New York City.
Weegee worked in Manhattan’s Lower East Side as a press photographer during the 1930s and 1940s and developed his signature style by following the city’s emergency services and documenting their activity. Much of his work depicted unflinchingly realistic scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death. Weegee published photographic books and also worked in cinema, initially making his own short films and later collaborating with film directors such as Jack Donohue and Stanley Kubrick.
In 1957, after developing diabetes, he moved in with Wilma Wilcox, a Quaker social worker whom he had known since the 1940s and who cared for him and then cared for his work. He traveled extensively in Europe until 1964, working for the London Daily Mirror and on a variety of photography, film, lecture and book projects. On December 26, 1968, Weegee died in New York City at the age of 69.
Aperture History Photography: Weegee was published in 1978 by Thames and Hudson. Each book of this series brought together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectible, the books were printed to the highest standards. Each one contained some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
