André Kertész

Associated Names

André Kertész

Artist, American, born Hungary, 1894 - 1985

The image consists of overlapping triangular and rectangular shapes arranged in a dynamic configuration. One shape appears to be a piece of paper with text, while another shows an illustration of a hand holding a bottle. The elements resemble a collage, similar to pages from a newspaper or a scrapbook. Shadows and overlapping angles add depth to the layered appearance of the image.
