"Naked City (2019)" is a photo book by Weegee, a photographer born in Austria and active in New York. Weegee (real name: Arthur Fellig) is a photographer who, in the prewar period before the mass and quality of newspaper and news agency photographers were organized, installed a radio interception device on his car, tuned it to the police emergency communication wavelength, and rushed to the scene of crime faster than anyone else to interview and take realistic photos of violence, theft, disasters, scandals, etc. These works are highly regarded not only for the documentary quality of news photos, but also for the artistic quality created with a unique sense of smell and outstanding sensibility. This book is a reprint of Weegee's first photo book published in 1945, a masterpiece that will remain in the history of photography. In addition to the above-mentioned incident photos, the New York street scenes that Weegee took in the 1920s and 1930s are edited by region and theme, and Weegee's own unique captions are added to the graphical layout to expose the "naked city of New York" in all its nakedness. 2019 edition.
