Andre Kertesz the Polaroids
A powerful collection of the luminous last work by one of the true giants of twentieth-century photography. After the death of his wife, André Kertész consoled himself by taking up a new camera, the Polaroid SX70. As with earlier equipment, he mastered the camera and produced a provocative body of work that both honored his wife and lifted him out of depression. Here Kertész dips into his reserves one last time, tapping new people, ideas, and tools to generate a whole new body of work through which he transforms from a broken man into a youthful artist. Taken in his apartment just north of New York City’s Washington Square, many of these photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. We see a fertile mind at work, combining 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 Almost entirely unpublished work, these photographs are a testament to the genius of the photographer’s eye as manifested in the simple Polaroid.

Kertesz created some of the most acclaimed photographs of the twentieth century, and the J. Paul Getty Museum is fortunate to own a wide selection of his work. This volume - the first in the Museum's new In Focus series, which is devoted to photographers whose work is particularly well represented in the Getty - presents a handsome selection from the 164 Kertesz photographs in the Museum's collection. The photographs are accompanied by commentaries by Weston Naef, the Getty's Curator of Photographs.

A small-sized, visual time capsule of the pivotal photographer's early Hungarian prints offers insight into his role as an artist and includes coverage of ninety works including "Chez Mondrian," "Satiric Dancer," and "Melancholic Tulip."
André Kertész
"André Kertész (1894-1985), internationally known photographer, surprisingly has never been the subject of a true retrospective in Europe. A major exhibition, opening in Paris and traveling to Winterthur, Berlin, and Budapest, now brings together an important number of his prints and original documents. The accompanying monograph details Kertészs personal contributions to the photographic language of the twentieth century and charts his constant creative acuity over a career spanning more than seventy years-- in Hungary, where he was born, in Paris, where he was one of the principal figures of the photographic avant-garde from 1925-1936, and then in New York, where he spent the greater part of his life without receiving the success he expected and deserved."--Book jacket.
