Haas worked with a variety of eminent directors--from Vittorio de Sica to John Huston, Gene Kelly and Michael Cimino--and depicted cinema genres from suspense (\u003ci\u003eThe Third Man, The Train\u003c\/i\u003e) to the Western (\u003ci\u003eThe Oregon Trail, Little Big Man\u003c\/i\u003e), and from comedy (\u003ci\u003eMiracle in Milan, Love and Death\u003c\/i\u003e) to musicals (\u003ci\u003eWest Side Story, Hello Dolly\u003c\/i\u003e). Haas inscribed a temporal, filmic dimension into his stills which, when viewed in a sequence, generate movement and narrative. So accomplished was his mastery of color, light and motion that Haas was frequently asked to photograph large group actions--from the battle scenes of \u003ci\u003eThe Charge of the Light Brigade\u003c\/i\u003e and the dances of \u003ci\u003eWest Side Story\u003c\/i\u003e to the ski slopes of \u003ci\u003eDownhill Racer\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eOn Set\u003c\/i\u003e elucidates a novel perspective on the sets and the stars Haas photographed, and reveals a little-known but crucial dimension of his oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernst Haas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3869305878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783869305875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Ernst Haas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983486910719,"sku":"9783869305875","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81c9f15c-1766-4133-89be-28b69e50535e.jpg?v=1683266936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ernst-haas-ernst-haas-9783869305875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
