Kata Kálmán and Iván Hevesy take their own important parts separately in the history of photography of the 20th century. However, their recognition has always been segmented: Kata Kálmán comes into our mind as a documentary photographer, her Tiborc album conceals all other parts of her work as a photographer. Iván Hevesy is well-known as a theorist, as a critic, but other elements of his rich activity are usually ignored. The text and the selected picures demonstrate that Kata Kálmán's career as a photographer, which started in the 30s and lasted for about 40 years, ranges over other fields besides socio-photography, such as landscape photography, ethnographic photography, it includes presenting Budapest in a unique / individual form of town- photography. Besides Hevesy's aesthetical, photo-historical works his other activities are also empasized: he was a significant photographer, it was him, who taught Kata Kálmán to photograph, and most of their pictures were provably taken at the same time, at the same place together. In addition to photographing traditional architecture in villages, taking village genre pictures and landscape photographs he devoted an important series to photographing gates and windows. The volume presents several of his still lives created in the spirit of new objectivity.
The volume publishes a most detailed list of notes (bibliography and oeuvre-catalogue) besides the memories of the artist couples' two daughters and paralell biographies by Károly Kincses.
