Three cities, three photographers, three decades.
Photographs by Weegee, Robert Doisneau & Jimmy Forsyth from the AmberSide Collection.
This summer, Side Gallery will transport visitors to the Mid-20th Century streets of New York, Paris and Newcastle with their exhibition tryptic, Classic Street Style: Weegee, Doisneau, Forsyth. These free exhibitions showcase three celebrated approaches to street photography, vividly capturing life across different cities.
Weegee and Robert Doisneau are two of the world’s most famous and renowned documentary photographers whose work is held in the region’s AmberSide Collection. They will be exhibited alongside Jimmy Forsyth, an outstanding and revered ‘local’ photographer whose engaging images documented the spirit and transition of Newcastle’s West End.
