"Die Schopfung" by Ernst Haas, the Austrian pioneer of color photography. While active in postwar journalism and fashion magazines, Haas elevated photography beyond mere documentation into a visual language of color and poetry. This is the German translation of his masterpiece, "The Creation," a compilation of vibrant images he captured around the world around 1970, based on the grand concept of "Creation." This book is a collection of works that, from the birth of the Earth as described at the beginning of the Old Testament's Book of Genesis to the cycle of the seasons and the activities of living creatures, is constructed as a symbolic and dynamic visual chain. It decisively demonstrated the potential of color photography at a time when it was still in its infancy as an expressive medium. The rich colors, the vibrant light, the dynamism and stillness of the land and life transcend individual photographs, visualizing the concept of "creation" itself and powerfully captivating the viewer's sensibilities. Even as we reexamine the true meaning of color photography, which has become commonplace today, this book vividly reveals Haas's ideas and perspectives.
