The story of the bounty of intellectual and artistic talent that departed Hungary during this period is told in depth, from the photojournalistic legacy of the Capa brothers and Martin Munk?csi to the deeply experimental work made in the United States by artists such as L?szl? Moholy-Nagy and Gy?rgy Kepes to the portraits of cinema icons by Andr? de Dienes, including Marilyn Monroe, which helped fuel Hollywood's Golden Age. The book also introduces the major but underrecognized talent of artists, including John Albok, Anna Barna, Ferenc Berko, Michael Simon, and Paula Wright. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The publication's essays explore the complex legacy of more than thirty Hungarian-born photographers and reflect on their journeys to the US in the context of Hungarian emigration for more than a hundred and fifty years. By tracing the impact of these celebrated and unheralded photographers alike, \u003ci\u003eAmerican, Hungary Born\u003c\/i\u003e underscores the significant role of Hungarian immigrants in shaping American photographic culture and practice in the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseum of Fine Arts Budapest\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (April 6-August 25, 2024) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eVirginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (October 5, 2024-January 26, 2025) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (September 26, 2025-March 1, 2026) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Nyerges\u003c\/b\u003e is director and CEO of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.\u003cb\u003e Karoly Kincses\u003c\/b\u003e is founding director of the Hungarian Museum of Photography.\u003cb\u003e Robert Gurbo\u003c\/b\u003e is curator and director of the André Kertész Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 369\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 12.02 x 9.75 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460785586429,"sku":"9780300279962","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/4Vujta_Jso9780300279962.webp?v=1777256246","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/american-born-hungary-kertesz-capa-and-the-hungarian-american-photographic-legacy-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
