Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from March 7 through May 24, 2014. Presents "Andre Kertesz: 'Raison d'Etre': Photographs From The Concerned Photographer Exhibitions 1967-69". The fifth, and most comprehensive, publication by Stephen Daiter Gallery on the photographic art and achievement of Andre Kertesz. His participation in the eponymous - and eleemosynary: The Concerned Photographer shows helped establish the International Center for Photography (ICP) - exhibitions was sweet confirmation of the photographer's stature as one of the greatest photographers of the time. By the time Kertesz immigrated to the United States in 1937, he was already a well-known artist/photographer in Europe, and (rightly) expected to be greeted with the critical acclaim and financial success that a figure of his stature deserved. Instead, his work was completely ignored. Kertesz was forced to eke out a living by doing commercial work for House & Garden Magazine. It was not until the prescient John Szarkowski gave him a one-man show at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 1964, a posthumous-like, twenty-seven years later, that he finally achieved the recognition that he enjoys to this day. There are critics, scholars, dealers, and collectors who consider Kertesz to be the greatest photographer of the 20th century. Full stop. "The camera is my tool through which I try to give a reason to everything and to every happening around me. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the raison d'etre" (Andre Kertesz). All great art compels us to slow down, tarry, take our time; transports us to another temporal reality and immerses us in it, which Andre Kertesz's best photographs do. An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Kertesz collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

There are critics, scholars, dealers, and collectors who consider Kertesz to be the greatest photographer of the 20th century. Full stop. Kertesz called his long American obscurity, "The Lost Years", when instead of giving up, he persevered and "developed a body of work that visually distilled his isolation and anxieties, creating subdued and poetic photographs. Photographs that asked New York to slow down and hear a whisper among the shouts. And he remained true to his vision" (Paul Berlanga).
