A mystifying vintage Cibachrome print depicting a cityscape reflected in glass orbs by Hungarian-born photographer Andre Kertesz. On verso annotated 15-25, 11 5, Proof. Circa 1979. A Zen and tranquil photo that sparks curiosity and imagination. After the death of his wife, Andre Kertesz consoled himself by taking up a new camera, the Polaroid SX70. He produced a body of work that both honored his wife and lifted him out of depression. Taken in his apartment just north of New York City's Washington Square, many of his polaroid's 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. From a private collection. Dimensions of Photograph: 5.25"h x 5"w / 14"h x 16"w (with matte). In very good vintage condition.Andre Kertesz (1894-1985) was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay. In the early years of his career, his then-unorthodox camera angles and style prevented his work from gaining wider recognition. Today he is considered one of the seminal figures of photojournalism. In 1984 the Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased 100 prints by Andre Kertesz, its largest acquisition from a living artist. And in 1986 he was inducted into the International Photograph Hall of Fame and Museum. Kertesz has exhibited in several museum exhibitions and his work can be found in countless private and public collections.
