The photograph titled “Distortion” was created by artist Andre Kertesz in the year 1933. This black and white image captures a distorted reflection of a woman’s body through the use of a curved mirror. The photograph presents the female form in a surreal manner, with her figure stretched and bent in ways that defy natural proportions. The curvature of the reflecting surface creates a striking juxtaposition between the actual physique of the woman and its reflected image, which is elongated and contorted. The result is a thought-provoking piece that plays with perception and the representation of the human body, characteristic of Kertesz’s innovative approach to photography.
