The endeavour to detach the photographic image from reality and from the shot subject is evident in Haas' entire oeuvre; a large part of his abstract works are so-called "Torn Posters", details of torn billboards, also he was fascinated by the abstracting qualities of reflections as a pictorial subject. Also he was a pioneer in the use of colour in the field of Fine Art Photography. This beautifully printed image is a rare collector's item.

染料转印照片,1989年印制于半光泽纸上,尺寸为52.2 x 75.7厘米,品相极佳。下边缘有马格南的"In our Time"展览钢印,背面有摄影师代理机构的版权印章。文献:William Manchester(编辑),《In our Time: The world as seen by Magnum photographers》,伦敦,1989年,第192页;Ruth Peltason / Ernst Haas Estate编辑的《Ernst Haas, Color Photography》,纽约,1989年,第80页;《Ernst Haas: New York in Color, 1952-1962》,慕尼黑,2020年,第17页。 哈斯的整个作品中都明显体现了将摄影影像从现实和拍摄对象中分离出来的尝试;他的大部分抽象作品是所谓的“撕裂海报”,即撕裂广告牌的细节,同时他也对反射作为图像主题的抽象特性着迷。此外,他还是在艺术摄影领域使用彩色的先驱。这张印制精美的影像是一件稀有的收藏品。
