Dans la vie de André Kertész
La vie entière1917
First publication in Érdekes Újság
While he is serving in the Austro-Hungarian army, his photographs are first published, in the magazine Érdekes Újság.
1918
Meets Erzsebet Salomon
With peace in 1918 he returns to the stock exchange, where he meets his future wife Erzsebet Salomon (later Elizabeth Saly), who also works there, and begins to pursue her romantically; throughout his whole career he uses Elizabeth as a model for his photographs.
early 1920s
Tries farming and beekeeping
He leaves the exchange to try agricultural work and beekeeping, but the venture is brief given the political turmoil that accompanies the revolution and the coming of communism. Back at the exchange he decides to emigrate to study at one of France’s photographic schools, but his mother dissuades him, and he does not leave for several years.
