André Kertész: Elizabeth and Me

André Kertész... Shadow Self Portrait (1927, Gelatin silver print, New York ferrotyped print. Titled, dated with annotations and artist stamp on print verso). From the exhibition André Kertész: Elizabeth and Me at Stephen Daiter Gallery. "...Taken in Kertész's apartment just north of New York's Washington Square, many of these photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. We see a fertile mind at work, combining personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces. These photographs are a testament to the genious of the photographer's eye as manifested in the simple Polaroid."
