“ Magnum member Ernst Haas
knew how to focus his Leica
on the stylish facets of his
surroundings. It is the certain
coolness and elegance that
I like about the photograph.
You can almost hear the jazz
music and big city buzz on the
streets of 1950s New York.
It’s no surprise that these
shots made him a pioneer of
color photography.”

“ Viviane Maier’s bizarre
appearance as a shadow
image in a surrealistic scenery
immediately attracted my
attention. It is emblematic of
her entire work. She appears
out of nowhere and leaves
the viewer with a smirk. So
do her insightful photographs
of odd situations and people
covered with a touch of humor.”
