Andre Kertesz


Kertesz's 'Meudon' captures something of the elusive genius of photography. With a photograph we can't help but wonder who the figure in the foreground is, where he has been, what he is carrying and where he is taking it. But Kertesz's photograph has no definitive answers. How can something that reveals so much keep so much to itself? There is so much to look at yet we're drawn back to the key figure at the bottom hoping to bring a sense of meaning as the viewer to the overall piece.
