He emerged on the art scene in the 1970’s as part of the “New Realism” movement. Haas is one of the leading architectural muralists and is best known for his trompe l’oeil paintings. His work ranges from 19th century cast iron industrial buildings to gleaming sky scrapers. He currently lives and works in New York City.
