Patricia Albers's new biography Everything Is Photograph: A Life of André Kertész brings readers up close to the eventful life and ground breaking art of the photographer André Kertész. Born in Budapest in 1894, Kertész soared to star status in Jazz Age Paris, tumbled into poverty and obscurity in wartime New York, slogged through fifteen years shooting for House & Garden, then improbably reemerged into the spotlight with a retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Patricia answered Ashley's question: Hi Patricia! Congrats on the Andre Kertesz release! How did you first become drawn in to his work and life? Always curious about how authors' connections to the figures they write about unfold. Hi Ashley! Thank you! I discovered a book of Kertész's photographs by chance when I was in high school, so it took me long enough to write his biography! Yet over the years since that first encounter, I've sought out his images. I admire them as examp See Full Answer
