The First Full Biography Of The Innovative Father Of Modern Photography Vividly Depicts His Life And Works, From Hungary To France And America, Across The 20Th Century.Born In Budapest In 1894, Andr Kertsz Soared To Star Status In Jazz Age Paris, Tumbled Into Poverty And Obscurity In Wartime New York, Slogged Through 15 Years Shooting For House & Garden, Then Improbably Reemerged Into The Spotlight With A 1964 Retrospective At New YorkS Museum Of Modern Art. By The Time Of His Death In 1985, He Had Exhibited Around The World, Taken More Than 100,000 Images, And Steered The Medium In New And Vital Directions: He Was The First Major Photographer To Embrace The Leica, The Camera Now Mythically Linked To Street Photography, And He Pioneered Subjective Photojournalism, Publishing What Is Arguably The WorldS First Great Photo Essay.Drawing On Dozens Of Interviews, Previous Scholarship, And Deep Archival Research, And Interrogating The Images Themselves, Patricia Albers Retrieves Aspects Of KertszS Life That He And His Pictures Gloss Over, Among Them The Ordeals Of Trench Warfare, The Impact Of The Holocaust, And The Tale Of His Tangled Romances. She Takes Kertsz From The Eastern Front In World War I To The Paris Of Piet Mondrian, Colette, Alexander Calder, And A Lively Central European Diaspora. From Cond NastS Postwar Media Empire To The Photo Boom Of The 1970S. She Revisits KertszS Relationships With Other Photographers, Among Them His Frenemy Brassa And Protg Robert Capa. She Breathes Life Into A Gentle, Generous, And Unassuming Man Endowed With OldWorld Charm But Also Sputtering With Grievance And Rage And Inclined To Indulge In Deception.Everything Is Photograph Immerses Readers In The Heyday Of A Now Lost Version Of Photography. Formally Vigorous, Emotionally Rich, And Aesthetically Charged, KertszS Images Speak Of The Medium As A Tool For Human Connection, SelfNarration, SelfInvention, And Inquiry About The World, Even As They Project Its Mysteries.
