Ernst Haas: The American West

This collection of striking colour images from the American West is both a moving national portrait as well as a celebration of analog colour photography from an undisputed genius of the form. The photographer behind Life magazine's first ever all-colour photographic essay, Ernst Haas made and captured history as an early adopter of Kodachrome film.

The Austrian-born artist had already established himself as a black and white photographer when he moved to America in 1951. But as a member of the renowned Magnum agency, he transformed the genre with his colour-saturated images, the perfect medium for capturing America's geographic and cultural landscapes.
