Brief introduction of Andre Kertesz.

André kerté SZ (1894-1985), an American photographer, was born in Budapest, Hungary. As a pioneer of modern photography, Cortez's photos and attitude towards life have always brought endless inspiration to photographers all over the world. Various expressions can be found in his works.

Every photo of Cortez fully shows the integration of art and life. He likes to construct pictures with changeable geometric forms to make up for traces, and enhance the mysterious effect of light and shadow through various forms of interaction, which causes a subtle and rich psychological feeling in people's hearts. Blacet once said: "Cortez has two qualities that are essential for great photographers: tireless curiosity about the world, people and life, and exquisite sense of modeling."

In the 1920s, Cortez began to take photos in Paris, and moved to the United States after 1930s, where he experienced a long career as a professional photographer. He has created a wide range of subjects, from news photography to taking professional indoor photos for vogue magazine. His style not only reflects the development track of European news photography, but also embodies the characteristics of a new visual movement that pays attention to conception and space.

The purpose of Cortez's photography is not to record important events, but to show the surprising side of ordinary things. Therefore, a major feature of Cortez's works is the interesting picture and perfect geometric structure, which makes it as important as the content.

Cortes is good at using modeling and space, and he is very interested in composition in plane performance. He also uses the corners, shadows and lines of objects to form images, and observes any unexpected vivid details with keen eyes and combines them into wonderful pictures. Cortez's works don't pay much attention to capturing wonderful moments, but emphasize personal expression, and most of them are experimental. His photos related to mondriaan, a painter, once set a new high in auction works, with strong experimental style and composition. He told a friend: "I instinctively tried to show the artist's spiritual strength in my photos, which is his simplicity, simplicity and conciseness."

Cortez's photography career has lasted for 73 years, and he has chosen equipment ranging from large format dry camera to Paula SX-70 camera. Today, people who collect these works are all over the world.
