Andre Kertesz: The Polaroids
Kertesz was emotionally and physically broken after the death of his wife Elizabeth in 1977. He discovered the SX-70, and was able to work through his overwhelming grief by shooting mostly still-lifes of a small glass bust that became powerful metaphors and symbols of life, loss, death and mortality. Kertesz shot Polaroids right up until his own death in 1985.
I saw this show at Silverstein Gallery in New York yesterday..... The work is captivating and inspiring. I had no idea this body of work even existed, and it represents a wonderful story.
