专家说明

One of Weegee's most famous images, The Critic documents high society arriving at the opera house on opening night of the Metropolitan Opera in 1943, amidst a group of people presumably waiting in line for standing room as well as a disheveled onlooker. When the image was first reproduced in Life magazine, the 'plain people' to the left were eliminated, while in the present work, we see the photographer's full, uncropped view.
