Ernst Haas: On Set

Featured image—of on- and offscreen lovers Sophia Loren and Cary Grant on the set of Stanley Kramer's 1957 epic, The Pride and the Passion—is reproduced from Steidl's much-loved new release, Erns Haas: On Set. A critic's pick everywhere from New York Magazine to CNN, this beautifully produced volume collects the influential Magnum photographer's film stills for Golden Age Hollywood features including Carol Reed's The Third Man, Howard Hawks' Land of the Pharaohs, Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise's West Side Story, John Huston's The Misfits, starring Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift, and Gene Kelly's Hello Dolly! starring Barbra Streisand. Editor John P. Jacob writes, "Ernst Haas was so prominent, so prolific a photographer during his lifetime that it has taken the passage of decades since his death, in 1986, for historians to initiate an assessment of his legacy. Very simply, they have had to catch their breaths."
