But as a member of the renowned Magnum agency, he transformed the genre with his color-saturated images, the perfect medium for capturing America’s geographic and cultural landscapes. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe remarkable book offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant and reassuringly familiar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PAUL LOWE is a senior lecturer in photography and an award-winning photographer.
