The self-taught and always unsatisfied: André Kertész

I'm going to talk about André Kertész, my favorite photographer. I met their works in a exhibition at the "Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes", on October 15, 2011. The name of the exhibition was "El doble de una vida" and had a lot of pictures divided in 4 groups, related to the places wich he lived: Hungary (1894-1925), France (1925-1936), the United States (1936-1962), the international period (1963-1985) the Color.

I really enjoyed the exhibition because the pictures that he took combined a great composition of daily things. He was always true to what he believed: "What I feel, I do" and his pictures reflect that. The most of the pictures were in black&withe, that made his work was intimate, even if the photo represents a public space or a stray dog. The photo that I like the most in that exhibition was "La Danza del Fauno". I put the image here, to see if you like :)
















Even if he won a lot of awards in life, he died with the feeling that the world never understood his art.

  1. I can feel the energy of the dance, in middle of nature, getting over all in a jump, a ritualistic dance maybe.
    I liked it so much!
