WEEGEE; ARTHUR FELLIG (Ukraine, 1899- 1968). "Circus Biker," c. 1943. Gelatin silver photograph. Slight damage to the frame. Presents stamp on the back "Credit photo by Weegee-The Famous". Measurements: 18 x 13,5 cm; 40x 30,5 cm (frame). Arthur Fellig known by his pseudonym Weegee, was a photographer and photojournalist, praised for his raw photographic style, which presented the street scene in New York City, usually portrayed in black and white. Weegee worked on Manhattan's Lower East Side as a press photographer during the 1930s and 1940s. He developed his signature style by following the city's emergency services and documenting much of their activity. For that reason his compositions depict realistic scenes of urban life, crime, and death. Weegee published books on photography and also worked in film, initially making his own short films and later collaborating with filmmakers such as Jack Donohue and Stanley Kubrick. One of his first jobs was in the photo lab of The New York Times Later, during his employment with Acme Newspictures, his skill and ingenuity in developing live prints earned him the name "Mr. Squeegee." Most of his photographs were taken with equipment and aesthetic guidelines typical of press photographers. He was a self-taught photographer with no formal training. Some of his photos reflect a juxtaposition between the representation of people from high society, along with others who do not belong to the same social circle. Weege's work is widely recognized nationally and internationally and his works are in important private and public collections. In addition, his work continues to generate interest after his death, an example of this was the exhibition Weegee's New York, held in 2009 at the Fundación Telefónica in Madrid. It has slight damage to the frame.
