the polaroids

Edición de la obra Andre Kertesz

"Emotionally and physically exhausted after the loss of Elizabeth, his wife and lifelong companion, André Kertész was admittedly a broken man who had lost his direction. His remarkable recovery began when he was inspired by a small glass bust and he embraced the new Polaroid SX-70. ... Taken in his apartment, just north of New York City's Washington Square, many of the photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. His fertile mind at work, Kertész arranged personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces."--Book jacket.
