# Ernst Haas: On Set - Hardcover

by **Ernst Haas** (Photographer)

This 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 (_The Third Man, The Train_) to the Western (_The Oregon Trail, Little Big Man_), and from comedy (_Miracle in Milan, Love and Death_) to musicals (_West Side Story, Hello Dolly_). 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 _The Charge of the Light Brigade_ and the dances of _West Side Story_ to the ski slopes of _Downhill Racer_. _On Set_ elucidates a novel perspective on the sets and the stars Haas photographed, and reveals a little-known but crucial dimension of his oeuvre.
