First edition. Printed broadside on stiff card. 11 x 14 1/4 inches. Slight wear to corners but very good.A broadside announcing a series of twelve lectures on image management to be given in Oakland by the influential photographer Nicholas Haz. Sponsored by The Camera Club of Oakland the lectures were to be held in the Rock Ridge Women's Club. The broadside also bears a wonderful portrait of Haz (surely a self-portrait) and five printed accolades by such renown photographers as Edward Stieglitz, Edward Steichen and Arnold Genthe. "Hungarian-born painter and photographer Nicholas Haz became one of the important teachers of photography in the second quarter of the 20th century. A theorist whose ideas bridged pictorialism and modernism, Haz published two classic texts on photographic technique: Emphasis in Pictures: A First Aid to Composition (Canton, 1937) and Image Management: Composition for Photographers (Cincinnati, 1946). Ansel Adams worked with Haz in 1937, and that mentorship, along with the principles laid out in Haz's volumes strongly influenced Ansel Adams's formulation of "Zone" in imaging. Haz's aesthetic interests included a deep appreciation of American popular culture, particularly cinema, and animated cartoons most of all, which embroiled him in a number of public controversies about the value of Hollywood in respect to European film-making. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. In 1939 an exhibition of his theatrical portraiture from 1925-1930 took place in the gallery at Rockefeller Center. In the late 1930s, in the midst of the debates over non-objective painting, Haz began producing prints of objects that appeared non-representational. These provocative prints were displayed at the Julien Levy gallery in October 1939" (Broadway Photographs).
