N.B. Route 66 is one of Ernst Haas's most famous images. A passionate photojournalist and one-time member of the photography collective Magnum, Haas is perhaps best known as one of the pioneers of color photography. His 1962 retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art was that institution's first color photography exhibition. The Haas Studio label accompanies the lot.
