Description
Moving studies of everyday life and society in Vienna between the two world wars, and fascinating pictures of the American way of life. Sensitive portraits of major personalities-from Albert Einstein to Arturo Toscanini-and Street Photography in New York: the oeuvre of the Austrian-American photographer Robert Haas (1898-1997) encompasses numerous themes and unites the views of two continents. His artistic career began within Viennese modernism in the nineteen-twenties. He established himself as an internationally successful photojournalist in the thirties. After fleeing from the National Socialists in 1938, Haas found a new home in the United States. Besides his work as a well-known graphic artist and printer in New York, he documented everyday life in America in striking photographs. This catalogue allows readers to rediscover a major photographer and an outstanding oeuvre while presenting vintage prints that have never before been shown. (German edition: ISBN 978-3-7757-4182-8).
