People in motion are wonderful to photograph. It means catching the right moment - the moment when something changes into something else.”~ Andre Kertész Andre was at the epicenter of Parisian cultural life throughout his years there. He was also part of the lively Hungarian emigre community who had also made Paris their new home. Magda Forstner was a Hungarian cabaret dancer who was visiting her fellow Hungarian, sculptor Istvan Beothy, at the same time Kertész was there. Andre asked the dancer to think of Boethy’s sculpture that was set up in the corner of the room. She too, always the professional that she was, twisted herself into a harmonious contortion. The downward perspective and wide angle accentuate the dynamics of a composition that is all angles and is full of Kertész’s joy and spirit.
