ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER: "After moving to Paris in 1925 from his native Hungary, Kertesz embraced avant-garde ideas associated with photographic expression. As photo-historian Keith Davis observed: This complex synthesis of high and low--the provocative and simple, the coolly formal and the warmly human--would characterize Kertesz's work throughout his long career." - Photographie.
