"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
