Sunset
André Kertész
Description
Subject Matter:
This evocative photograph depicts a silhouette of three figures in a canoe paddling across a gently rippling body of water while the sun sets behind them. The reflection of the sun in the water produces a series of horizontal bands of dark and light forms throughout the image; from the dark water in the foreground to the reflected sun at middleground, and again in the opaque form of the distant shoreline bisecting the scene, capped by the white arc of the sun's rays and the dimming sky above. This photograph was included in a portfolio of 15 prints entitled "A Hungarian Memory," which was published by Hyperion Press in 1980.
