scrive articoli che sono illustrati<br />

dalle foto realizzate<br />

da Haas. Robert Capa, che dirige a<br />

Parigi la neonata agenzia Magnum<br />

lavoro e li invita ad unirsi all’ancora<br />

minuscolo gruppo di fotografi. Il<br />

primo incarico per i due comprende<br />

un reportage da <strong>Capri</strong>.<br />

Lavorando alla Magnum Inge<br />

Morath scoprirà nella fotografia la<br />

sua vera passione e diventerà uno<br />

dei maestri del ritratto fotografico.<br />

Haas collaborerà con la Magnum<br />

fino ai primi anni Sessanta per poi<br />

continuare a lavorare per i maggiori<br />

magazine dell’epoca fino<br />

al 1986, anno della sua morte. Oggi<br />

è considerato uno dei pionieri della<br />

moderna fotografia a colori, come<br />

pure l’inventore del “mosso” quale<br />

soluzione visuale per rendere gli<br />

stati emotivi.<br />

Inge Morath and Ernst Haas<br />

during their first reportage<br />

for Magnum Photo<br />

the two young Austrians were<br />

collaborating with Heute magazine;<br />

she wrote articles illustrated with<br />

photos taken by Haas. Robert<br />

Capa, who was director of the newly<br />

established Magnum Photo agency<br />

in Paris, was struck by the quality of<br />

their work and invited them to join<br />

their group of photographers, at that<br />

time very small. The pair’s first task<br />

included a report on <strong>Capri</strong>.<br />

Working with Magnum, Inge Morath<br />

found in photography her true<br />

passion and she became one of the<br />

masters of photographic portrait.<br />

Haas collaborated with Magnum<br />

until the early 1960s and went<br />

on to work for the most important<br />

magazines of the time until 1986,<br />

the year of his death. He is now<br />

considered one of the pioneers of<br />

modern colour photography, and the<br />

inventor of the “blurred” photograph<br />

as a visual solution for portraying<br />

emotional states.<br />
