Indepth Arts News: "Weegee's World: Life, Death, and the Human Drama" 2000-10-14 until 2001-01-07 George Eastman House Rochester, NY, USA United States of America
Weegee didn't invent 1930's tabloid news photography; he perfected it. The bold, graphic approach of his newspaper work was most often
executed at night, his large camera flash freezing an event in dramatic and revealing light. Weegee observed of his work: I was on the scene;
sometimes drawn there by some power I can't explain, and I caught the New Yorkers with their masks off . . . not afraid to laugh, cry, or make
love. What I felt I photographed, laughing and crying with them.
The exhibition of more than two hundred photographs traces the career of a news photographer whose very name became synonymous with the
brash, telling tabloid photography of the time.
Organized by the International Center of Photography, New York.

World: Life, Death, and the Human Drama.
