Description from the seller

ENJOY THE FIRST EROTIC PHOTOBOOK AUCTION by 5Uhr30.com (Ecki Heuser, Cologne, Germany).
5Uhr30.com guarantees detailed and accurate descriptions, 100% protection, 100% insurance and combined shipping worldwide.

FAMOUS PHOTO SERIES by genious Hungarian photographer André Kertész (1894-1985) whose work had a pronounced influence on artistic photography in the mid-twentieth century and on artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Brassaï.

THE COMPLETE SET of the Kertesz's prints hadn't been seen for 40 years (showing for the first time in 1932, published in book form for the first time in 1976).

BREATH-TAKING PHOTOGRAVURE PRINTING.

ORIGINAL BOOK FROM 1976 - WITH THE ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET.

EXCELLENT, VERY FRESH CONDITION - COLLECTOR'S COPY.

"This book brings back in its entirety a lost masterpiece of photography that has not been seen, complete, for some 40 years. "Distortions" is the great surrealist series that created a sensation on its first showing in 1932 in Paris. Earlier that year Kertesz had been asked by the French magazine "Le Sourire" to create a series of images of women and, out of the dreamlike "distortions" he had perceived as a young man watching swimmers move through the water, these pictures evolved. Four years later a number of them were exhibited in New York at the Museum of Modern Art, and again caused a furor."
