Hungarian photographer André Kertész travelled to Paris in 1925, where his images appeared in the new illustrated magazines. During the 1930s he became an important influence on the coming of age of photojournalism and the art of photography. He later emigrated to America. At Sotheby's New York in October 2005, a Kertész photograph of Chez Mondrian (1926) sold for US$464,000.
