No less radical now than when they were first shown in the 1930s, with his surreal nudes Kertész manipulates and warps the female form with mirrors in a way that feels beautiful in its strangeness rather than grotesque; often humorous but never cruel. Once assumed lost, the deteriorated negatives were restored, allowing the full series to be brought together in this dreamlike 1976 book. Knopf, 1976.

A shared resource for books and magazines straight from the shelves of our studio, launched to coincide with the opening of Le Kilt’s first concept store, Le Kilt Room. Show more
