paperback. Condition: Fine. Introduzione di John Coplan. 335 fotografie in bianco e nero di Weegee. Biografia, Bibliografia . 4to (cm 29 x 23). pp. 335. . Ottimo (Fine). . . . Legendary photojournalist Weegee's unflinching eye led him to territory few other photographers of his time dared to go. His New York was not the glamorous world of nightclubs and bustling sidewalks, but of the back alleys and forgotten tenements that bore witness to the city's tragedy and violence. Weegee's New York is a city wounded by the Great Depression, in the throes of unemployment and poverty, of crime, corruption, and prostitution. Taken mostly at night, and marked by the characteristically harsh, artificial light that cast telltale shadows on their subjects, these photographs of crime victims, homeless vagrants, petty thieves, and resolute policemen document the gritty reality of Weegee's world. The first news photographer permitted a police radio in his car, Weegee would race through Manhattan's streets after midnight, often beating the cops to the scene of the crime. The next morning his pictures would scream from the pages of the Daily News and the Daily Mirror. They still jump from the page today, with a restless an immediacy and intense edginess that has yet to be surpassed. The 335 photographs collected in this volume tell a story of New York during one of its most violent and exciting periods. They also tells the story of the man behind the camera, whose passion, curiosity, and humanity belie his role as uninvolved bystander. More than a record of superb photojournalism, Weegee's New York is a te! stament to a man who refused to look away.L'occhio indifeso del leggendario fotoreporter Weegee lo portò sul territorio che pochi altri fotografi del suo tempo osavano percorrere. La sua New York non era il mondo glamour di locali notturni e vivaci marciapiedi, ma di vicoli e appartamenti dimenticati che testimoniavano la tragedia e la violenza della città. La New York di Weegee è una città ferita dalla Grande Depressione, in preda alla disoccupazione e alla povertà, alla criminalità, alla corruzione e alla prostituzione. Scattate principalmente di notte e contrassegnate dalla luce artificiale, tipicamente dura, che proiettava ombre rivelatrici sui loro soggetti, queste fotografie di vittime del crimine, vagabondi senzatetto, piccoli ladri e poliziotti risoluti documentano la grintosa realtà del mondo di Weegee. Il primo fotografo di notizie che mise una radio della polizia nella sua auto, Weegee avrebbe corso per le strade di Manhattan dopo mezzanotte, spesso picchiando gli sbirri sulla scena del crimine. La mattina dopo le sue foto avrebbero urlato dalle pagine del Daily News e del Daily Mirror. Saltano ancora oggi fuori dalla pagina, con un'immediata irrequietezza e un intenso nervosismo che deve ancora essere eguagliato. Le 335 fotografie raccolte in questo volume raccontano la storia di New York durante uno dei suoi periodi più violenti ed emozionanti. Book.

Brossura. Condition: Molto buono (Very Good). Prefazione di John Coplans. Con 84 fotografie di Weegee . 8vo. pp. 136. . Molto buono (Very Good). Fioriture ai tagli e ai risguardi (Yellowing of edges and front and back panels). Prima edizione italiana (First Italian Edition). . "Weegee appartiene a una corrente fotografica tipicamente americana: quella che racconta la realtà com'è, ma gli eccessi a cui egli arriva su questa strada denunciano la complicità dell'osservatore. Osservare una foto di Weegee significa alzare di molto la posta in gioco del contratto fotografico, sia emotivamente che moralmente. In Diane Arbus e perfino in Les Krims, che certamente gli devono molto, riconosciamo quel brivido di autocondanna che Weegee esplorò per primo". Book.
