Frank Pape, Arrested for Homicide, November 10 c. 1944 - 1969

Weegee, known for his stark black and white street photography, captured "Frank Pape, Arrested for Homicide, November 10" sometime between 1944 and 1969. This image showcases Weegee’s signature style of capturing raw moments of urban life, in this case, the arrest of a man accused of a crime. The subject’s face is seen through a chain-link fence, adding a layer of detachment and anonymity. This photograph, like many of Weegee's works, exemplifies the artist's interest in crime, police, and the darker aspects of society, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of urban life in mid-20th century New York.
