André Kertész’s photographs of rural New York and Vermont reflect his fascination with landscapes and everyday life in American communities. Taken in the early 1940s, this image captures the region’s charm through Kertész’s distinctive style, featuring an architectural structure amidst natural elements, illustrating the relationship between human habitation and the environment. Prints of this work are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Centre Pompidou. – Some small surface scratches and edge wear, top right corner slightly bumped, otherwise in near excellent condition.
