He once said that "photography should be realistic", yet the more than 200 photographs reproduced here prove - if proof were needed - just how fantastic and how surreal reality can be.' (Quote taken from the back cover) **André Kertész 2 Jul 1894 - 28 Sep 1985), born Kertész Andor, was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay. In the early years of his career, his then-unorthodox camera angles and style prevented his work from gaining wider recognition. Kertész never felt that he had gained the worldwide recognition he deserved. Today he is considered one of the seminal figures of photojournalism. (Wiki) ***A first printing of the first UK edition published in 1978 - the book was originally published in hardback in the USA in 1972. Uncommon in all formats and printings, especially in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
