Product Information
His combination of Modernist vision and poetic wit defined a vocabulary that generations of photographers have continued to use. Kert??sz's iconic images of 1920s Paris, such as Chez Mondrian and Satiric Dancer and his later images from New York Melancholic Tulip, Washington Square have seeped into contemporary culture, and yet Kert??sz maintained that the real roots of his work were in Hungary. This book, the first completely dedicated to Kert??sz's early Hungarian prints, offers a unique window on the origins of genius. Ninety images, selected from more than 1,000 contact prints in the artist's estate, are meticulously reproduced to actual size, revealing the explosive cultural context of early twentieth-century Hungary. A treasured addition to any photography library, Andr?? Kert??sz: The Early Years is a rare opportunity to witness the beginnings of a great artist.Product Identifiers
