Andre Kertesz His Life and Work

Summary: This important monograph is the first to present a complete overview of the work of Hungarian photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1925), one of the undisputed masters of modern photography. Pierre Borhan covers three key periods of Kertesz's work: Hungary (1912-1925), France (1925-1936), and the United States (1936-1985). A full section is devoted to his famous "distortions" and another to his color works. This stunning... book is a work of reference and valuable source of information, but it is also a richly dramatic tribute to one of the masters of twentieth-century photography. [read more]
