Review
"The exquisite reproduction make this a delightful introduction to the origins of his work." Amateur Photographer "... before any of them came Andre Kertesz." The Independent on Sunday"
Synopsis
Andre Kertesz (1894-1985) was one of the most inventive, influential and prolific photographers in the medium's history. This small volume, first published in 1971, became one of his signature works. Taken between 1920 and 1970, these photographs capture people reading in many parts of the world. Readers in every conceivable place - on rooftops, in public parks, on crowded streets, waiting in the wings of the school play - are caught in a deeply personal, yet universal, moment. Kertesz's images celebrate the absorptive power and pleasure of this solitary activity and speak to readers everywhere. Both playful and poetic, "On Reading" is reissued with striking new duotone reproductions. Fans of photography and literature alike will welcome this classic.
