André Kertész (Budapest, 2 July 1894 – New York, 28 September 1985) was a Hungarian photographer who, however, carried out most of his artistic career in the United States of America. Among the greatest photographers of the 20th century, he received considerable recognition for his work and was an inspiration to important contemporary artists and photographers. He demonstrated how every aspect of the world, from the most banal to the most important, deserves to be photographed. Of an introverted nature, guided mainly by intuition, his work is difficult to classify. Although the street was the main and most stimulating subject of his photographs, he was not interested in news or important worldly events, but in the possibility of showing the silent happiness of an instant through the graphics of modern metropolises.
