Klappentext
This collection of striking color images from the American West is both a moving national portrait as well as a celebration of analog color photography from an undisputed genius of the form.
The photographer behind Life magazine's first ever all-color photographic essay, Ernst Haas made-and captured-history as an early adapter of Kodachrome film. The Austrian-born artist had already established himself as a black and white photographer when he moved to America in 1951. But as a member of the renowned Magnum agency, he transformed the genre with his color-saturated images, the perfect medium for capturing America's geographic and cultural landscapes. From desert storms, Route 66 gas stations, and Las Vegas neon to rolling prairie, dilapidated farms, small-town parades, and city sidewalks, Haas' perfectly composed images, contain a distinct pictorial language, suffused with poetry, pattern, and light. At the same time his pictures communicate a journalist's point of view, whether the subject is rural poverty, suburban comfort, or the myth of the American West. The remarkable book offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant and reassuringly familiar.
Biografie (Ernst Haas)
Ernst Haas was born in Vienna in 1921 and took up photography after World War II. His early work on returning Austrian§prisoners of war brought him to the attention of Life Magazine, from which he courageously declined a job as staff§photographer in order to maintain his independence. At the invitation of Robert Capa, Haas joined Magnum in 1949, developing§close associations with Capa, Werner Bishof and Henri Cartier-Bresson. He began experimenting with colour,§and went on to become the premier colour photographer of the 1950s. In 1962 New York s Museum of Modern Art§mounted its first solo exhibition of his colour photography. Haas books were legion, and one, The Creation (1971), sold§350.000 copies. Ernst Haas received the Hasselblad award in 1986, the year of his death.Anmerkungen:
