Tekst achterflap

The first full biography of the innovative "father of modern photography" vividly depicts his life and works, from Hungary to France and America, across the 20th century.

Born in Budapest in 1894, André Kertész soared to star status in Jazz Age Paris, tumbled into poverty and obscurity in wartime New York, slogged through 14 years shooting for House & Garden, then improbably reemerged into the spotlight with a 1964 retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. By the time of his death in 1985
