The Creation

Haas, Ernest

THE STORY OF CREATION HAS INSPIRED POETRY, PAINTING AND MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES; IN THESE PAGES IT ISTOLD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PHOTOGRAPHS, OFFERING 'A SORT OF SPIRITUALECOLOGY IN PRAISE OF THE EARTH WHICHMAN INHERITED AND SHOULD SEEK ARDENTLY TO PERFECT'. ERNST HAAS BELIEVES THAT TODAY NO MEDIUM CAN INTERPRET THE CREATION BETTER BETTER THAN THE CAMERA. HIS POINT IS PROVED BY HIS MAGNIFICENT COLOUR PICTURES, ARRANGEDIN FLOWING SEQUENCE THAT REPRESENTS THE SEASONS, THE ELEMENTS, THE CREATURES AND FINALLY THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT-THE BIRTH OF MAN.
