DeKalb County, GA — Various events are happening this week in and around DeKalb County, including Truckin’ Tuesdays at Legacy Park, an archives tour at the DeKalb History Center, and a screening of “The Neutral Ground” at Plaza Theatre to benefit the Beacon Hill Black Alliance for Human Rights. A few local government meetings are also scheduled for this week.

Here’s what’s happening this week:

André Kertész: Postcards from Paris

In 1925, photographer André Kertész arrived in Paris with little more than a camera and meager savings. Over the next three years, he carved out a photographic practice that allowed him to move among the realms of amateur and professional, photojournalist and avant-garde artist, diarist and documentarian. During this three-year period, he chose to print most of his photographs on carte postale, or postcard paper. Postcards from Paris is the first exhibition to bring together Kertész’s rare carte postale prints. These works offer new insight into his early, experimental years and reveal the importance of Paris as a vibrant meeting ground for international artists, who drew inspiration from each other to create new, modern ways of seeing and representing the world. The exhibit is on view at the High Museum of Art until May 29.
