André Kertész, a pivotal figure in 20th-century photography, significantly shaped modernist photography and influenced photojournalism. This book accompanies a major retrospective exhibition at Paris's Jeu de Paume Museum and other European sites like Winterthur, Berlin, and Budapest. It explores Kertész's seventy-year career across three phases: Budapest (1914–25), Paris (1925–36), and New York (1936–85). The book features illustrated historical analyses, portfolios, and detailed notes on his style. Rare vintage prints supervised by Kertész himself are reproduced, highlighting the compelling and poetic nature of his work.
