Biography

André Kertész (1894-1985) is widely regarded as one of Europe’s leading photographic artists, particularly for his contribution to photographic composition and the photo-essay. Although he failed to gain popular recognition in the early stages of his career, his later photographs, including works such as The Fork (1928), Melancholic Tulip (1939) and Washington Square, New York (1954) are now amongst the most famous photographs of the twentieth century.
