André Kertész

Associated Names

André Kertész

Artist, American, born Hungary, 1894 - 1985

This is a photograph of an empty cobblestone street with large columns and buildings. The image captures an urban scene where a street winds between tall columns on the left and a building on the right. Sunlight casts long shadows on the ground, adding depth to the image. In the background, more buildings line the street, while a lamppost stands on the sidewalk. The atmosphere is serene, with light fog diffusing the sunlight.
