Product Description

Review

"The exquisite reproduction make this a delightful introduction to the origins of his work." Amateur Photographer "... before any of them came Andre Kertesz." The Independent on Sunday"

Product Description

Andre Kertesz (1894-1985) was one of the most inventive, influential and prolific photographers in the medium's history. This small volume, first published in 1971, became one of his signature works. Taken between 1920 and 1970, these photographs capture people reading in many parts of the world. Readers in every conceivable place - on rooftops, in public parks, on crowded streets, waiting in the wings of the school play - are caught in a deeply personal, yet universal, moment. Kertesz's images celebrate the absorptive power and pleasure of this solitary activity and speak to readers everywhere. Both playful and poetic, "On Reading" is reissued with striking new duotone reproductions. Fans of photography and literature alike will welcome this classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just not romantic enough for me , 3 Jan 2009

By	E. Potten (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A small collection of black and white photographs around the theme of reading, spanning many years and many places. From little children balancing books on their knees to women soaking up the sun on their roofs and balconies, from students spread out on the grass to monks at prayer, from backstage actors taking five to old men perusing the newspapers on the pavement - all kinds of reading, in different places and at different ages, are represented and celebrated.

HOWEVER, for me there just wasn't enough of the romance: too many pictures of people on city roofs and pavements, and not enough in parks or beautiful libraries. Not only that, but the collection didn't seem to capture the tail end of the time span these photos were taken in, so I was trying to feel nostalgically stirred by photos of everyday situations in decades and places I know very little about. It's still a nice collection, especially for older generations, but maybe it's time someone stepped up and continued Kert�sz's theme into the future - reading on the Tube, modern students, electronic gadgets and Harry Potter-wielding children...
