Preview of André Kertész exhibition at the National Gallery of Art

 

Curator Sarah Greenough led a preview of the André Kertész exhibition at the National Gallery of Art. Members of the Kertész family were also present, and paid a visit to the residence of the Ambassador the following day. Kertész is remembered as one of the most influential figures of 20th-century photography, and the exhibition leads the visitor through the whole career of one of the founding fathers of modern photography from the early 1910's to his death in 1985.
