In the convulsed New York of the 30s and 40s, Weegee was a freelance photojournalist who published in all the major newspapers and turned crime into a spectacle.
Always alert, he had in his car a radio tuned with the frequency of the police that allowed him to arrive first at the crime scene. His technique, of hard backlighting, gave the photos an aura of truthfulness and drama that continues to impact the viewer.
After Foto Colectania, the exhibition Weegee by Weegee now travels to Oviedo.
