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. From desert storms, Route 66 gas stations, and Las Vegas neon to rolling prairie, dilapidated farms, small-town parades, and city sidewalks, Haas’ perfectly composed images, contain a distinct pictorial language, suffused with poetry, pattern, and light. At the same time, his pictures communicate a journalist’s point of view, whether the subject is rural poverty, suburban comfort, or the myth of the American West. The remarkable book offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant and reassuringly familiar.
