He is famed for his vibrant color style, which, for decades, was much in demand by the illustrated press. This work, published in the most influential magazines in Europe and America, also produced a constant stream of books, and these too enjoyed great popularity. But although his color work earned him international fame, in recent decades it has been derided as "overly commercial" or not sufficiently "serious." Yet there was a side of Haas’ work almost entirely hidden from view: parallel to his commissioned work, he made images independently, images far more edgy, loose, complex, ambiguous and radical than the work for which he is famed. Hass never printed these pictures in his lifetime, nor did he exhibit them, perhaps believing that they would not be understood or appreciated. This volume, intended to "correct" the record, compiles these photos of great complexity for the first time in print. Ernst Haas (1921–86) was an Austrian-born artist who enjoyed a 40-year career as a photojournalist and creative photographer. A self-trained photographer, Haas first began to photograph his native Vienna in the aftermath of World War II. He published in various magazines before joining Magnum Photos, of which he would eventually become president. In 1950 Haas traveled to New York for a project and remained there for the rest of his life. The Museum of Modern Art presented a ten-year survey of his color photography in 1961―its first solo-artist retrospective dedicated to color work. Review: The joy of color - The idea for this wonderful book of photos came from Graham Howe in 2005, he suggested it focus on the more abstract images that Haas had taken over three decades, most of which had not been seen before. The title is a reprint of the 2011 Steidl edition, and now, fortunately, you don't have to pay the large sums that the original sells for. What I find so fascinating about these photos is the way Haas captures the commonplace, here are shots from the man-made landscape available for everyone to see but, of course, we don't, it takes the eye of a very creative photographer to bring it to our attention. In Philip Prodger's essay he says Haas frequently went out to take photos for himself and the majority of the 186 pictures in the book are in this style. Throughout the pages there is an excellent selection of surface work (rather reminiscent of the close-up texture photos by Aaron Siskind) detail from torn posters, peeling paint, fragments of leaves, sidewalk detritus. What gives this work an extra lift is the way Haas creates depth by having the background out of focus and a shape in the foreground, add some black around the edges and suddenly the picture on the page is more intriguing yet it could just be a painted number on a wall. The earliest work is from 1952, the last from 1986. I recognized four (there maybe more) from the two long photo essays about New York that appeared in the September 14 and 21, 1953 editions of Life (incidentally you can see these on Google, it has archived all the issues of the magazine). I would guess that three-quarters of the book's contents are of the US and especially New York and other work from Europe. The back pages have a location and date caption but as Prodger says 'Because of the way he photographed, it is impossible to tell where he made a given photograph based on appearance alone. Haas often took his pictures inches away from the subject at acute and unexpected angles.' 'Color correction' is a book of remarkable photos, especially as most of them have not been seen before and I think they reveal much more about Haas art than his best selling 'Creation' or 'In America' books. Review: Best colour book of Ernst Haas - This is a wonderful book in a format that is pleasing Each picture is printed in a page of its own and in a size not too big as to completely overwhelmed the page leaving no white border . Colour reproduction is high quality living to the standard of the original Kodakchrom colour . I have several books on ErnstHaas photographs and this one really exceeded them in terms of colour reproduction and presentation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 23 Reviews | ## Images ![Ernst Haas: Color Correction: 1952 - 1986 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614VtzGStSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The joy of color *by R***N on November 24, 2016* The idea for this wonderful book of photos came from Graham Howe in 2005, he suggested it focus on the more abstract images that Haas had taken over three decades, most of which had not been seen before.
