The volume traces the entire oeuvre of André Kertész, one of the great figures of 20th-century photography, from the first amateur photographs taken in his home country and during the years of the First World War, to the famous shots taken in Paris – the world capital of culture in the 1920s and 1930s – the masterpieces created in the studio of the painter Piet Mondrian, the street scenes, and the “deformations” that made him the leading figure of Surrealism. The selection of works presented sheds new light on the second part of his career, which took place on the other side of the ocean, in a profoundly different cultural climate. The images
of these years demonstrate how Kertész continues his research by returning to the same themes, while highlighting the effect that the
new architectures, new lifestyles, new urban panoramas. The publication also celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of the presence of the
photographer at the Venice Biennale.
The volume accompanies the major anthological exhibition at the Camera – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia in Turin in collaboration with the Médiathèque du patrimoine et de la photographie (MPP) in Paris – an institute that preserves more than one hundred thousand negatives and all the archives donated by the photographer to the French State in 1984.
