Andre Kertesz (Aperture Masters of Photography)

“I write with light,” Andra Kertasz once said of his work. In one of the medium’s longest, most productive careers, Kertasz created a vast, lyrical narrative that helped shape the history of photography. He used the camera to question, record, and preserve his relationships to the world and to his art. Collected here are the finest images of his life’s work. “There is in the work of Kertasz a sense of the sweetness of life, a free and childlike pleasure in the beauty of the world and preciousness of sight.” –John Szarkowski, Looking at Pictures
