The Village

The Village

This never-before-published book of photographs by Weegee the Famous reflects the sweeter side of an artist better known for depicting three-alarm disasters. Before he died, Weegee composed a dummy for a book about New York’s Greenwich Village, the center of American bohemia in the late ’40s and throughout the ’50s. Weegee was there, prowling the neighborhood at all times of day and night, and in this book he captures the carnival atmosphere—the folk singing, rent parties, costume balls, art shows on the street. He would visit the cafés where James Dean might just have dropped in, the bars where customers brought along their pets. Washington Square, the center of ”the Village,” figures in many of these photographs, which are arranged in the order devised by Weegee along with his original introduction. Regarded as one of the major figures of twentieth-century photography, Weegee here produced some of his happiest, funniest, warmest pictures of a city he loved.
