About Robert Häusser
- Robert Häusser (8 November 1924 - 5 August 2013) was a German photographer.Häusser's career as a photographer began in post-war Germany during his time working on a farm.
- Consequentially many of his first studies included farm landscapes and workers.
- After moving to Mannheim he entered into what art historians have dubbed his "light period" (1953-54) due to the "light, often poetic" nature of many of his photographs taken during this time.
- He exhibited at more than 50 one-man-shows in museums and art galleries in Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia, Slovenia, and the USA.He received the Hasselblad Award in 1995.
- His award citation described his work as "extension and development of the 'subjective photography' genre, which was launched, and won considerable acclaim, in Europe during the post-war years.
- His graphic and pregnant studies of landscapes and architecture combine a fine simplification of the essentials of his subjects with a quietly threatening tone".
