Many consider Hungarian photographer André Kertész (1894-1985) to be the father of photojournalism. He was widely admired for his innovative work with his 35-millimeter Leica camera on the streets of Paris. His work was featured in many publications and exhibitions, including solo exhibitions at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris and at the Museum of Modern Art, and a major retrospective, Of Paris and New York, at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Among his numerous honors and awards were a Guggenheim Fellowship and admission to the French Legion of Honor.
