Bruce Silverstein Gallery’s current exhibition brings together the work of André Kertész and MC Escher, two revered artists born within four years of one another, who each “uniquely and independently redefined how visual reality is perceived”. The Hungarian photographer achieved this through works that employed unconventional vantage points, reflection, distortion and radical cropping, while the Dutch draughtsman explored similar modes of perception, geometry and illusion by hand. Through their pioneering vantage points, both artists revealed “order and chaos not as abstract opposites but as interdependent conditions through which reality is structured and transformed”.
