“Everybody can look but they don’t necessarily see”
~ André Kertész (1894-1985)
André embraced Paris as a Hungarian emigre and Paris embraced him back. It was a relationship of mutual respect and passion. The city nurtured his unique poetic vision and his technical prowess allowed him to capture its beauty especially at night as is evidenced here in this rare signed print. The Pont Marie is a bridge which crosses the Seine. It links the Ile Saint -Louis to the Quai de L’Hotel de Ville and is one of three bridges designed to allow traffic to flow between the Ile Saint Louis and the Left and Right banks of Paris. I had the great fortune to walk it after Paris Photo two weeks ago. I am still floating.
