Andre Kertesz began photographing in his native Hungary with limited success and encouragement. Determined to make photography his career, he moved to Paris where he worked as an independent from 1925 to 1935. Kertesz was an innovator in the use of the 35mm camera, which offered him the flexibility and immediacy his work required. As French picture magazines began to gain popularity, he began to be a regular contributor to Vu, Varietes, and Art et Medecine. In 1936 he immigrated to the United States and worked as a freelance photographer. He eventually earned a contract position with Conde Nast Publications in New York and remained there until 1962 when he returned to his personal photographic explorations.Please contact the gallery for a quote on shipping and insurance costs.
