As with earlier equipment, he mastered the camera and produced a provocative body of work that both honored his wife and lifted him out of depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere Kertész dips into his reserves one last time, tapping new people, ideas, and tools to generate a whole new body of work through which he transforms from a broken man into a youthful artist. Taken in his apartment just north of New York City's Washington Square, many of these photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. We see a fertile mind at work, combining personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces. Almost entirely unpublished work, these photographs are a testament to the genius of the photographer's eye as manifested in the simple Polaroid. Duotone photographs throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: in 2007\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: W W Norton \u0026amp; Co Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 127\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 13: 9780393065640\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 10: 0393065642\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andre Kertesz, Robert Gurbo (INT), Eelco Wolf (FRW)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32777750511719,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/0393065642.jpg?v=1598341678","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/andre-kertesz-the-polaroids","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
