Great interview series, who took them? No, Kertesz took life around him, not "nude" pictures, he took all he saw around him, as I try, very humbly to do now, it is only a shame we could not have his photos all of them on flickr or web as I can put all mine on, I am very proud that my name is Kertesz and try to be as humble as I take photos as him, but all cannot be also so artistic too, I just try to immitate somehow his great humanity
For almost 50 years I have bought photo books. Kertesz and Josef Sudek remain closest to my heart. What both these men, both wounded in WWI, Sudek losing his arm, had in common was a classical narrative reverence for what is in itself beautiful. These photographers' aesthetic is without a contemporary match in my opinion. Indeed Avedon, Bresson, Adams were giants, but not of the human heart, the brain, intellect, but no, not the heart.
