“Everybody can look but they don’t necessarily see”
~ André Kertész
(1894-1985)
André embraced Paris as a Hungarian émigré, and Paris embraced him in return. It was a relationship built on mutual respect and passion. The city nurtured his poetic vision, and his technical mastery allowed him to capture its beauty — especially at night, as seen here in this rare signed print.
The Pont Marie, which spans the Seine, connects the Île Saint-Louis to the Quai de l’Hôtel de Ville. It is one of three bridges that link the island to both the Left and Right Banks of Paris. I had the great fortune to walk across it after Paris Photo two weeks ago — and I’m still floating.
