"Abstract" is a collection of works by Austrian photographer Ernst Haas (1921–1986). Haas was one of the leading photographers of postwar Japan and was an internationally active member of Magnum Photos. Known as a pioneer who actively pursued the expressive possibilities of color photography from the 1950s onward, he expanded color photography into the realm of art with his unique visual expression that boldly incorporated light, movement, and color. This book, "Abstract," is a collection of works that focuses particularly on abstract images from Haas's work. While capturing real landscapes and subjects such as the ripples and reflections on the water's surface, the shimmer of light, and the overlapping of colors, a visual world like an abstract painting emerges through the rhythm of form and color. This book highlights Haas's exploration that photography can be more than just a record of a subject, but a medium that expresses light and color itself.
