Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The age of the romantic sensibility in photography may be over, replaced by an age of irony. But as André Kertész demonstrates, its innocent charms remain beguiling."--Andy Grundberg, Washington Post

"People who know photography revere André Kertész as one of the medium's great practitioners, a modernist innovator. . . . But he never achieved the kind of popular name recognition that artists like Cartier-Cresson, Edward Steichen, Walker Evans and Ansel Adams did. . . . [T]hat makes his retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Art here that much more wonderfully revelatory. The show was organized by Sarah Greenough, head of the museum's photography department, and it is accompanied by an excellent catalog that provides an unusually illuminating biography of the artist. . . . What distinguishes Kertész's work is not a particular visual style or signature subject matter, but its emotional resonance. Undoubtedly Kertész was a great formalist, but in his most persuasive pictures, form is put to the service of feeling."--Ken Johnson, The New York Times

"A highly informative, thoughtful, and readable catalogue with excellent reproductions."--Rex Weil, ARTNews

"André Kertész saw with his heart's eye. He was a small, primly handsome Hungarian with a diaphanous vision--his camera did not so much peel away veils of reality as lay on a faint, pellucid veil of aesthetic contemplation. . . . [A]s the detail-rich essays in André Kertész by Sarah Greenough, Robert Gurbo and Sarah Kennel make clear, he was a deeply aware man."--David Elliott, San Diego Union-Tribune
