A master of color
This picture by Ernst Haas (1921-1986) is the earliest ‘art’ photograph in color which I recall, having probably seen it in my early teens.
Talk of starting at the top!
While abstraction pervades his work, Haas never abstracts just for the sake of doing so; rather, the context is always clear, the vision insightful and the feel warm and sympathetic.
Check out more of his work in the book Ernst Haas – Color Photography – hard to get, expensive and worth it.
