Naked City - by Arthur F Weegee & Weegee (Paperback)

The "Naked City" by Weegee is a groundbreaking photography book that showcases the author's unique ability to capture the raw emotion and drama of 1940s New York City.

With its unabridged republication of the original 1945 edition, this book offers a rare glimpse into the city's seedy underbelly, revealing a world of crime, vice, and corruption that was previously hidden from view.

Weegee's photographs are both lurid and compelling, elevating the sordid side of human life to the status of high art while also highlighting the camera's unique power to capture split-second drama.

As one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, Weegee's work is now housed in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and "Naked City" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of photography or the gritty realities of urban life.
