Synopsis

This important monograph is the first to present a complete overview of the work of Hungarian photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), one of the undisputed masters of modern photography. Author Pierre Borhan covers three essential 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 colour works. Each section is prefaced by a critical text written by an international specialist. This stunning book is a work of reference and valuable source of information, but it is also a dramatic and luxurious tribute to one of the masters of twentieth-century photography.

Review:

His photographs...from the intimate views of Washington Square...to an unexpected homey image of the World Trade Center seen through a rain-spangled window...abound with a forgiving lyricism. (Wall Street Journal)
