Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art, New York says

André Kertész was a man of immense talent. Throughout his life he made photographs that are infused with a haunting poetry and quiet authority few other photographers of his time--or any other--could rival.

There is currently a retrospective of his work at The International Center of Photography in New York. It is worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood.
