A concise survey of the life and work of André Kertész, structured around the three cities that shaped his career: Budapest, Paris, and New York. The publication reproduces key photographs from across six decades, including early Hungarian images, Parisian modernist compositions, the celebrated Distortions, and later New York works.
Born in Budapest in 1894, Kertész is widely regarded as one of the foundational figures of modern photography. His intuitive approach to composition influenced generations of photographers, from European modernists to post-war street photographers. His movement between Hungary, France, and the United States provides the framework for this publication and mirrors the trajectory of twentieth-century photography itself.
The catalogue functions as a compact exhibition support: a printed record linking three cities, three periods, and a photographic practice that continually moved between observation, experiment, and everyday life. Not simply a monograph, but a retained exhibition document tracing the circulation of images across Europe and America.
Shipping and handling included in the listed price. Carefully packed and shipped flat.
