The image above is called "Under the Eiffel Tower" and it was taken in 1929 while Kertesz was living in France. I love this image because it looks so complex but simplistic at the same time. I love how small the people look and the shadows of the Eiffel Tower help with that. This picture was taken during Dadaism Movement which was a big influence for French artists at the time. Although this photograph does not speak Dadaism in its form I think the message is. Dadaism is heavily against bourgeois ways and I think that is what this picture is trying to show with the big structure against the small people.
