In Focus: André Kertész: Photographs from the J. Paul Getty Museum
Hungarian-born Andr Kert sz (1894-1985) was one of the most influential and popular photographers of the twentieth century. This volume presents for the first time selections from the Getty Museum's holdings of Kert sz's photographs, including work from his Budapest, Paris, and New York periods. The book also offers an intimate look at Kert sz through a dialogue among four of the people who knew the artist best during the last years of his life: Robert Gurbo, Curator of New York's Andr and Elizabeth Kert sz Foundation; David Travis, Curator of Photography at the Art Institute; Sylvia Plachy, photographer; and the Getty's Curator of Photographs, Weston Naef. The discussion was moderated by Charles Hagen, writer and critic for the New York Times.

Nice Overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A very well produced introduction to Kertesz' work. The reproductions are small but the images are reasonably well printed with detailed captions offered for each. Many beautiful and fascinating images are included. The book concludes with a chronology of Kertesz' life and excerpts from a informal 1993 colloquium about his life and work. Well worth the low price.
