Colorful photographer and photojournalist (1899–1968), born Arthur Fellig, whose sensationalistic images of murder, mayhem, and other dramatic events appeared regularly in the New York press in the 1930s and ’40s. He later took up ‘art’ photography and won acclaim for his wry series of distortion portraits achieved by means of special lenses and prisms. Though the origin of his distinctive professional name remains uncertain, the most pervasive is the tongue-in-cheek claim of ‘psychic powers’ that enabled him to be first at the scene of crimes, fires, and accidents. Vintage glossy 8 x 10 abstract photo of a mirrored kiss, signed in the lower border in blue ink. In very good condition, with moderate scattered surface creases and impressions, and staple holes to the upper left corner.
