Vintage poster of iconic Weegee image, The Critic, 1943, Mrs Cavanaugh and Friend Entering the Opera. Printed with a quote from Naked City explaining the taking of the image. Produ ced by Amber in 1985 to celebrate the project Weegee The Famous. This exhibition at Side Gallery presented the raw, sensational world of Arthur Fellig, known as Weegee, whose stark black-and-white photographs of New York’s streets, crime scenes and nightlife captured the brutal immediacy of urban life and the birth of tabloid photojournalism in the mid-20th century.
