artists architects and photographers,arts and literature,arts and photography,biographies and memoirs,collections catalogs and exhibitions,collections catalogues and exhibitions,equipment techniques and reference,individual artists,individual photographers,photography and video, Andr� Kert�sz, Hungarian photographer Andr� Kert�sz eventually became famous for his wryly poetic images of everyday life. But achieving that distinction was a long slog, and Kert�sz--who emigrated to Paris in 1925 and New York in 1936--struggled for decades in near-obscurity and despair. Andre Kert�sz traces the artist's career with an engaging text and 250 exquisitely reproduced black-and-white photographs that span his long career. Throughout, he used his camera to create a visual diary of his life-haunting images suffused with a loner's sensibility. As a young man imbued with the romantic ideals of Hungarian nationalism, he photographed his handsome brother Jeno as Icarus, his exultant body silhouetted against the sky. Unable to find work after returning from the battlefields of World War I, Kert�sz tried his luck in Paris. It was the best move of his life. The City of Light was hungry for photographers to fill the new illustrated magazines. Avant-garde painters and sculptors opened up a new world of experimentation that prompted Kert�sz to photograph a series of female nudes seen in a funhouse mirror. And the new, lightweight Leica camera enabled him to snap scenes on the sly-a bum inspecting his toes on the banks of the Seine or a legless flower seller trying to tempt a passerby. After marrying his Hungarian girlfriend, he sailed to New York, lured by the promise of steady work as a fashion photographer and a climate more hospitable to a Jewish artist. But the agency job.
