André Kertész's (1894-1985) innovative photographic career began in his native Hungary in 1912. Kertész's early works reveal an innate ability to construct lyrical images infused with wit and insight. He is revered for his images in which everyday events are transformed into poetic visions. In 1925 he moved to Paris, where his approach to the medium helped to define the look and the role of photojournalism and contemporary art in Europe. Kertész left Paris in 1936 for New York but failed to secure a position as a photojournalist and slipped into obscurity. He continued to build on his extraordinary body of work in New York, but it wasn't until the mid-1970s that Kertész was fully recognized as a seminal figure in the history of photography.
