Untitled [Man jumping on beach]

More Information

Weegee is best-known for his tabloid-style photographs of New York City’s grittier neighborhoods, but toward the end of his career he experimented with photo distortions. He created this image of a young sunbather (probably a visitor to Brooklyn’s Coney Island, a favorite haunt of the artist’s) by cutting a photographic negative in half, reversing one portion, and taping the halves back together before printing the image.
