Sunday Stories: The Photography of Stanley Kubrick, Weegee, and Dr. Strangelove

Stanley Kubrick’s photographs in Look Magazine were only attributed to him in the late 1990s. This compendium of work shows Kubrick’s early interests, technique, and most of all, his influences; including Weegee, the famous crime scene photographer who took a young Kubrick under his wing and later became an intrinsic part of Dr. Strangelove.

About the Exhibition

Stanley Kubrick exerted complete artistic control over his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked. The exhibition, which was on view at The CJM from June 2016–October 2016, covers the breadth of Kubrick’s achievements, beginning with his photographs for LOOK magazine taken in the 1940s, and continuing with his directorial achievements of the 1950s through the 1990s, and explores Napoleon and Aryan Papers, two projects that Kubrick never completed, and the technological advances developed by Kubrick and his team. This exhibition is organized by the Deutsches Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, Christiane Kubrick and The Stanley Kubrick Archive at University of the Arts London.
