Footnotes
Ernst Haas is one of the most respected photographers of the 20th century. While most commonly associated with his pioneering color work, he was also, as is amply demonstrated in the following three lots, a highly accomplished photographer in black and white.
On this, the centennial of Ernst Haas's birth, Bonhams is delighted to pay tribute to his vital contribution to photography. This group, although much too small, helps to illustrate Haas's consummate brilliance in manipulating light, shadow, form and pattern.
