| photograph by Andre Kertesz: Man Reading (with cow), Paris, 1928 | |
Who is that guy, above, reading with that cow looking over his shoulder? I have no idea. But if you wish to learn more about Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), the photographer (of the picture, above, and those below), see the page for the
PBS Americian Masters. and go to a great page blogger of
photographer Erick Kim has devoted to Kertesz. The
Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College in Chicago has an extensive Kertesz biography and archive.
