André Kertész's carte postale period : Paris, 1925-28 / "The grotesque dancer from Pest" : Magda Förstner and the making of Satiric Dancer / "It was a beautiful paper" : notes on Guilleminot cartes postales / Catalogue of known carte postale prints. James Rondeau -- Elizabeth Siegel -- Sarah Kennel -- Sylvie Pénichon -- Foreword /
"This elegant book unites all of the known carte postale prints by the photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), including portraits, views of Paris, careful studio scenes, and exquisitely simple still lifes. 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. Kertesz 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 Leger, and Joseph Csaky-in the interwar metropolis. Prized by collectors as well as by Kertesz himself, the cartes postales influenced his compositions and the intimate scale of his picture making for decades."--Provided by publisher.
