André Kertész is recognized as one of the world's leading photographers. During a career spanning more than 70 years, he created images of ordinary life, in a style without pretension, using small-format cameras almost exclusively.
Kertész was born in Budapest, Hungary, where he graduated from the Academy of Commerce in 1912.He had an enduring influence upon world photography, particularly in France where he was a mentor to photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Brassai.
Working in a variety of modes, from portraits to still-lifes to nude distortions to photo-reportage, Kertész consistently captured the telling moment and the overlooked but expressive details of his subjects.
Cartier-Bresson has acknowledged this achievement: "Whatever we have done, Kertész did first."
