Meudon 1928

"Meudon" (1928) by André Kertész is a striking black and white photograph that captures the dynamic intersection of modernity and traditional life in Paris. The image depicts a narrow street lined with quaint buildings, with a towering train trestle and a passing train dominating the scene. The contrast between the architectural elements and the everyday activity of a man carrying a stack of newspapers adds a sense of human scale to the scene. This photo is a quintessential example of Kertész's signature style, characterized by sharp compositions, strong geometric elements, and a focus on capturing the unexpected beauty in ordinary scenes.
