In 1985, an anonymous alumnus of the University of Virginia School of Law donated to the Law Library Special Collections a set of fifty black-and-white photographs by André Kertész. Kertész, one of the most celebrated photographers of the twentieth century, produced over seventy years of arresting, exceptionally crafted, often amusing images that reflect the artist’s unending curiosity about life.
