About

Ferenc Berko: 60 Years of Photography, “The Discovering Eye” is a richly illustrated retrospective survey of the life’s work of Hungarian-American photographer Ferenc Berko (1916–2000), spanning six decades of images from the 1930s through the early 1990s. Created in tandem with a major exhibition sponsored by Kodak, the book presents a comprehensive overview of Berko’s creative evolution, from his early modernist composition and mastery of light and shadow to innovative uses of color that were ahead of their time. It combines black-and-white and color photographs that reflect his range as an artist — including abstract forms, street scenes, nudes, and documentary work — and underscores his dual legacy as both a photojournalist and a pioneer of modern color photography.
