Andre Kertesz: His Life and Work

Andre Kertesz: His Life and Work by Pierre Borhan. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780821226483.

" This important monograph is the first paperback to present a complete overview of the work of Hungarian photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), one of the undisputed masters of modern photography. Originally published in hardcover format in 1994, it is now in an affordable paperback edition. Author Pierre Borhan covers three essential periods of Kerteszs 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 color works. Each section is prefaced by a critical text written by an international specialist. This stunning book is a work of reference and a valuable source of information, but it is also a dramatic and luxurious tribute to one of the masters of twentieth-century photography."
