Harry Gruyaert has a rare ability to compose colour. He avoids the pitfalls of the genre by creating nuanced images, with a feeling of loneliness, of tender irony, of the “beauty of ugliness”. A form of “Belgitude”, to echo the words of Aimé Césaire. But Harry Gruyaert is not “just” Belgian-Flemish; here we understand that his life abroad afforded him a clearer view of Belgium. We also understand that this silent hypersensitive is inhabited by photography.
... Early on in his life Haas was influenced by Werner Bischof and realised that photography can simultaneously be a storytelling document and art. Subsequently, Ernst did a photo assignment, Homecoming, wherein he masterfully captured the happy and sad emotions of prisoners of war meeting their loved ones when disembarking from the train.
...He described New York as “the city which makes you work and presses everything out of you …”
Homecoming was published in both Heute and Life Magazine. The publication opened new doors and Ernst was asked by renowned war photographer, Robert Capa, to join Magnum Photos. Haas now became part of a small group of elite photographers like Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and the same Werner Bischof whose work influenced him so much.
Being part of Magnum allowed Ernst to travel the world as he carried out his assignments. In 1950 he was appointed Magnum’s US Vice President and was given US citizenship.
Ernst Haas moved to New York in 1951, choosing to document its streets in rich colour. Saying he would have been “lazy” in Vienna, he described New York as “the city which makes you work and presses everything out of you …” For Haas New York was a real metropolis, a world within a world, a solution within a solution, growing, decaying. There was little that Haas found obvious in this city; its constant change going on day by day, forming, transforming, construction, destruction had a significant impact on his vision.
