COLOR CORRECTION by Ernst Haas

less prose, more poetry - Color Correction by Ernst Haas the exhibition at Atlas Gallery, London

In 1949, Ernst Haas (1921 – 1986) was the first photographer ever to be personally recruited for the now legendary Magnum agency by Robert Capa.

Ernst Haas was also the first photographer with a solo-exhibition dedicated to colour photography at MOMA, New York in 1962. The crowds that swamped the show were not used to colourful exhibitions and could not believe their eyes.
