The exhibition André Kertész, Walking into the Image, at Stimultania Strasbourg is postponed; here is a first glimpse.
“André Kertész (1894-1985) is one of the eyes that opened new paths in twentieth century photography. Inspired amateur at 18, craftsman of optical research for the New Vision at 28, pioneer of media issues in reporting at 36, he has largely contributed to the aesthetic and professional evolutions of the medium.
If several generations of photographers have been marked by his approach and his images it is because he is the one who, without effect or display, has demonstrated the possibility of pursuing serene works throughout a photographer’s life, away from currents and on the margins of assignments, giving free rein to a strolling eye.
