"Reproduced to facsimile quality, the more than 175 images in this volume represent the artist's greatest achievements... idyllic scenes of Hungary in the years before World War I and the strangely gentle studies of combat troops during the war. Kertész's Paris masterpieces include portraits of Colette, Eisenstein and other leading artists; the distorted nudes; and flawless glimpses of the parks and streets of the City of Light. Subsequent images are drawn from his trips to Japan and his long residence in New York's Greenwich Village." (Publisher). One hundred and fifty-two photographs full page.
