The Leader

Nicholas Ház

American (born Hungary), 1883 - 1953

Color photography was primarily confined to commercial use in magazines and advertising when a small number of artists began using it in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Little known today, Ház established a school for photography in New York and lectured on his exhaustively detailed theory of classifying and understanding photographs.
