Strangelove’s Weegee

Illustrated softcover catalogue Softcover English 64 pages 25.4 x 20.3 cm 0.35 kg

Description

Strangelove’s Weegee is a fascinating exhibition catalogue published by Presentation House Gallery that uncovers a hidden chapter in cinema and photography history. In 1963, Stanley Kubrick hired the legendary “Naked City” photographer Weegee as a special effects consultant and set photographer for Dr. Strangelove. This volume, curated by John O’Brian, documents Weegee’s raw, flash-bulb aesthetic as it collided with Kubrick’s dark satire. Highlights include rare images of the “War Room” and the only photographic evidence of the film’s original pie-fight finale, which was famously cut from the final release. The book provides a unique look at how Weegee’s gritty tabloid style influenced the film’s visual language and even the performance of Peter Sellers.
