Description: This is an original, vintage 1938 8x10 silver gelatin still photo taken by renowned Hungarian photographer ANDRE KERTESZ. See biographical information below. This commissioned photo was taken during his American Period in 1938 for the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE in NEW YORK CITY. Andre Kertesz's NYC studio stamp is on the rear of the photo along with a pencil notation under the stamp, possibly in his hand. This vintage photo is in fine condition with the only flaw being a 1" crease in the upper right corner of the photo. Information on Andre Kertesz: André Kertész (2 July 1894 – 28 September 1985), born Kertész Andor, was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and thephoto 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 photo journalism.Due to German persecution of the Jews and the threat of World War II, Kertész decided to emigrate to the United States in 1936, where he had to rebuild his reputation through commissioned work. In the 1940s and 1950s, he stopped working for magazines and began to achieve greater international success. His career is generally divided into four periods, based on where he was working and his work was most prominently known. They are called the Hungarian period, the French period, the American period and, toward the end of his life, the International period. Check out my other items!
