About the author

André Kertész (French: [kɛʁtɛs]; 2 July 1894 – 28 September 1985), born Kertész Andor, was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay. In the early years of his career, his then-unorthodox camera angles and style prevented his work from gaining wider recognition. Kertész never felt that he had gained the worldwide recognition he deserved. Today he is considered one of the seminal figures of photojournalism.[

Reviews

[Sharon Barrow Wilfong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent overview of a brilliant photographer's oeuvre. Much of this collection takes place in Eastern Europe. It gives the viewer a glimpse of the "old country" in a time and place and people that probably do not exist anymore. But they have been captured in a moment's time for all ages.
