Essays shed new light on the artist's most acclaimed images; themes of materiality, exile, and communication; his illustrious and bohemian social circle; and the changing identity of art photography. Playful yet refined, the book's design reflects the spirit of 1920s Paris while underscoring the modernity of the catalogue's more than 250 illustrated works. Kertész made his rigorously composed prints on inexpensive but lush postcard stock, sharing them with friends and sending them back to family in Hungary. The works reveal the artist learning his craft as he encountered an international group of modernists--including Piet Mondrian, Fernand Léger, and Joseph Csáky--in the interwar metropolis. Prized by collectors as well as by Kertész himself, the cartes postales influenced his compositions and the intimate scale of his picture making for decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eArt Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 2, 2021-January 17, 2022) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Museum of Art, Atlanta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (February 18-May 29, 2022)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Siegel\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of photography and media at the Art Institute of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 10.9 x 8.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767728439584,"sku":"9780300260038","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f0677c1a5ce590d5f5425d2ea682eb5d.webp?v=1780316261","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/andre-kertesz-postcards-from-paris-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
