{"product_id":"9783869305875","title":"Ernst Haas: On Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book considers the film stills of Ernst Haas (1921-86), one of the most accomplished photographers of the 20th century, transgressing the borders between still photography and the moving image. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041665171696,"sku":"9783869305875","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783869305875_p0.jpg?v=1763761181","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783869305875","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
