André Kertész
1945
This portrait of Peggy Guggenheim shows her in her duplex apartment at 155 East 61st Street, New York. Behind her is a painting by Paul Delvaux, The Break of Day (1937), indicating Peggy’s commitment to Surrealist art. The menacing shadow is cast by a bottle decorated by her former husband, Laurence Vail, and the device of reflecting (and deforming) the sitter in a convex mirror recalls André Kertész's Surrealist photography of the 1930s.
