Last summer I stayed in my room most of the time and I began playing around with things. Years ago I was given a primitive Polaroid camera and I didn’t like it -it was for snapshots. But one day I took it out. I had discovered, in the window of a shop, a little glass bust and I was very moved because it resembled my wife-the shoulder, and the neck were Elizabeth. For months and months, I looked at the bust in the window and finally I bought it. The lady in the shop said “It’s a beautiful bust sir” “I know” I said and I took it home, put it in my window, and began shooting and shooting with the Polaroid camera-in the morning, in the afternoon, in different lights something came out of this little incident, this little object. They made a book of all the pictures I took. It is dedicated to my wife. Look how the face of the bust is always changing: a shadow, which is the shadow of the curtain, then a passing cloud.The sky and its reflection give it the expression.I didn’t arrange this thing-it was there.Photography cannot make nature more beautiful. Nature is the most beautiful thing in the world. You can show the beauty, illustrate it, but it is never the real beauty-very far from it. We don’t know how beautiful nature really is.We can only guess.I am always saying that the best photographs are those I never took”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e~ Andre Kertész\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(1894-1985)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andre Kertesz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57770074505598,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/From-my-window-by-Andre-Kertesz1.heic?v=1785408897","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/from-my-window","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
