No photographer came close to capturing the sensations, scandals, and catastrophes of 1930s and ’40s New York like Weegee (1899–1968). His striking images—captured through his uncanny ability to be on the spot and ready to shoot when things happened—have become part of the visual vocabulary through which we understand the period. This book, however, offers something new: drawing on an NEA archive that was only discovered in 2012, it presents countless never-before-seen Weegee photos. We see new angles on many of his familiar subjects—from the hardened police officer to the loud-mouthed crook; the midnight boozer
to the dancing jazz musician; a dramatic conflagration to the celebrations at the end of World War II—but we also get a glimpse of an unknown side of Weegee through surprising photographs of happy people enjoying themselves. The works are complemented by a fascinating account of the rediscovery of the archive, which had been missing for decades.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Kein anderer Fotograf hat die Sensationen, Skandale und Katastrophen der 1930er- und 1940er-Jahre von New York City mit seiner Kamera so mitreißend eingefangen wie Weegee. Stets war er unmittelbar am Ort des Geschehens und dokumentierte die Ereignisse und die Schaulustigen. Alle Werke stammen aus dem erst 2012 wiederentdeckten Agenturarchiv N.E.A., und die meisten der Vintage Prints werden in diesem Band erstmals publiziert. Weegee (1899-1968) erhielt 1938 als Erster offiziell die Erlaubnis, den New Yorker Polizeifunk live mitzuhören. Seither traf er teilweise noch vor der Polizei am Krisenherd ein und machte unzählige Aufnahmen. Vom hartgesottenen Polizisten bis zum großmäuligen Ganoven, von der mitternächtlichen Schnapsdrossel bis zum tanzenden Jazzer, vom dramatischen Großbrand bis zu den Feierlichkeiten zum Ende des Weltkrieges: Weegee bannte all diese Momente in unvergessliche Bilder. Der Band zeigt auch die bisher unbekannte Seite des berühmten Fotografen - feiernde, glückliche Menschen. Ergänzt werden die Werke durch die spannende Geschichte der Wiederentdeckung dieses jahrzehntelang verschollenen Archivs. (Text engl., Hirmer) 336 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 803316
