50 Masters of Photography (15) --- Andre Kertesz

André Kertész (1894 - 1985) was born Andor Kertész (changed his first name to André at the age of 21) in Hungary, 1984. He bought his first camera and made his first photograph while working as a clerk at the Budapest stock exchange in 1912. After years of amateur snapshot photography in his native Hungary, he moved to Paris in 1925 and began a career as a freelance photographer. There the young transplant, speaking little French, took to the streets, wandering, observing, and developing his intimate approach to imagemaking. He also met and began to photograph other artists, including Brassaï and Chagall, and members of the Dada Movement. One of them dubbed him "Brother Seeing Eye", an allusion to a medieval monastery where all the monks were blind except one.

From 1933 to 1936, Kertész published three books of his own photographs. Immigrating to the United States in 1936 with his wife to escape the increasing tension n Europe that was leading to World War II, he settled in New York, where he earned his living photographing architecture and interiors for magazines such as House and Garden.

However, his personal photographic style did not mesh well with the straightforward fashion photography the American public (and magazines) expected. He continued to exhibit his individual work as best he could but his reputation slowly faded, and he became disillusioned.

Kertész then had a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in 1964 which relaunched his career and reputation. He caught the mood of the times and became something of an elder statesman to the photographers of the late 1960s and early 1970s. By the mid-1970s he was showing his work in galleries all over the world. He continued working very productively into old age, and was experimenting with instant Polaroid photography shortly before he died.

Kertész is now recognized as one of the seminal figures of photojournalism.

有一天安得烈收到一封信, 一打开，激动不已！信的大概主要内容是这样的："安德列，谢谢您出了这么伟大的一本书，您才是我真正的老师，我以身为您的学生为荣。", 签名的却是当时早已出名的昂利•卡蒂-布列松. 之所以被扫街大师如此称呼，其原因从摄影历史来看就是安的作品不少风格被很多其他大师继续引申和发展。他的作品不仅追求生活性，还强调了和艺术准确的结合。具体说，这个"准确"是通过其对光与影(The Fork)，线与面在构图(Chez Moridrian)中巧妙结合。使我体会最深的就是他的作品时刻不忘感觉或意境的发挥，比如下边那张她夫人的那张(My Elizabeth)，其实是第二次修改，裁掉原有相片中其它部分，而巧妙只留下他自己手和人相的一半，从而准确地表达"我的一半"！又比如利用人体变形的手法去夸张他对女性感情和激情。更让人赞叹的是他那些"好利来"作品。这些作品大都是他放在纽约家里的窗前，拿着相机对着玻璃在想象力支配下摄出女性的温柔，用光，色，影把女性的脸表现的令人叫绝！而这些作品正是他用来表达对失去他心爱人的思念，是意境的延伸，是艺术的升华！

谢谢华老师给我机会和大家一起再欣赏大师的作品，品味其中的妙处！
