Andre Kertesz - The Polaroids (MINT CONDITION, SHRINK-WRAPPED) - 2007

GREAT PHOTOBOOK av André Kertész fra 2007 - i BRANDNEW TILSTAND.

"Emotionally and physically exhausted after the loss of Elizabeth, his wife and lifelong companion, André Kertész was admittedly a broken man who had lost his direction. His remarkable recovery began when he was inspired by a small glass bust and he embraced the new Polaroid SX-70."

"In poignant, beautiful, and sometimes haunting photographs, we witness the artist's late life rebirth as Kertész dipped into his reserves one last time, tapping new people, ideas, and tools to generate a whole new body of work. In the process he transformed from a sad old man waiting to die into one who could not wait for the next click of his camera. Taken in his apartment, just north of New York City's Washington Square, many of the photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. His fertile mind at work, Kertész arranged personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces. Almost entirely unpublished work, these photographs are a testament to the genius of the photographer's eye as manifested in the simple Polaroid."

Wonderful, small photobook by André Kertesz - in perfect condition.

"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. His career spanned seventy-three years-from a glass plate camera to the Polaroid SX-70. His photographs are in the collection of museums and institutions throughout the world."
