Description

Ernst Haas: A National Portrait in Color This collection of striking color images from the American West is a moving national portrait that celebrates the art of analog color photography. Ernst Haas, an Austrian-born artist who joined Life magazine's first all-color photographic essay, captured history with his unique vision. Haas' photographs showcase America's geographic and cultural landscapes, from desert storms to rolling prairies, dilapidated farms, small-town parades, and city sidewalks. His perfectly composed images contain a distinct pictorial language, infused with poetry, pattern, and light. At the same time, they communicate a journalist's point of view, exploring themes such as rural poverty, suburban comfort, and the myth of the American West. The result is a remarkable book that offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant and reassuringly familiar.
