Additional Details

Originally from the Estate of André Kertész.

Stranger to Paris, 8; André Kertész: Of Paris and New York, 34.

At the conclusion of an evening that celebrated Kertész's vernissage at Gallery Au Scare du Printemps (as well as Michel Seuphor's and Dermée's publication of Documents internationaux de l'esprit nouveau), Kertész gathered his artistic friends together under signage that partially reads "pour artistes." At the center is Ida Thal, whose work was on exhibition with Kertész's; to the right are the architect Adolf Loos, the painter Piet Mondrian (in spectacles), and critic Michel Seuphor (without a hat).
