"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." (from the publisher) Alfred A. Knopf, New York. 1976.
