Weegee

Weegee (1899-1968) was the quintessential hard-boiled
news photographer. From the mid 1930s to
the late 1940s in New York City, he chronicled the
shocking, dramatic and joyous moments of life and
death in the modern metropolis. Transcending the
short-lived tabloids they first appeared in, his images
received wider acclaim in such celebrated publications
as Naked City (1945) and Weegee's People (1946).
Kerry William Purcell is a freelance writer and lecturer.
He is a regular contributor to various graphic
design and photography magazines. His publications
include Alexey Brodovitch (Phaidon Press, 2002).
