In 1941
Weegee had his first exhibition at the New York Photo
League, called "Murder is My Business" He gained
further recognition when several of his images were
included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in
1943. Having made the leap from lowbrow journalism to
museums, Weegee had become well known in different
circles.
It was
the success of his first photography book, Naked City
(1945) that made Arthur Fellig AKA Weegee famous. And as Lee Friedlander
noted... "It is one of the great ironies of Naked City
that although it established Weegee as an expressive
photographer and helped prepare the way for his work
to enter and belong in art museums, it produced one of
the purest forms of the tabloid as we know it today"
Director Stanley Kubrick admired Weegee’s photographs so much so
that he hired Weegee as the stills photographer
of Doctor Strangelove. When Peter Sellers heard Weegee speak he
apparently used Weegee’s voice for Dr Strangelove
Weegee helped prepare the way for tabloid photographers we know today
