Description and Table of Contents
Description
With his very personal images, Hungarian photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1985) skillfully succeeded in capturing the fleeting, emotional moments in his environment. His works had a pronounced influence on artistic photography in the mid-twentieth century and on artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Brassai. Three important periods mark his oeuvre: Budapest, 1914-25; Paris, 1925-36; and New York, 1936-85. While this first retrospective deals with all phases of Kertesz's career, it sheds particular light on his work for magazines, his Distortions-photographs of nude models taken with mirrors from unusual perspectives-and the Polaroids, a series shot from the window of his home that features fascinating images of personal objects against the skyline of New York.
