A photographic genius, Ansel Adams (1902 – 1984) created black and white photos such as “Aspens, Northern New Mexico, 1958” and filled them with vast nuances of light and shadow. Devoted to preserving America’s natural landscape, Adams elevated environmental awareness through his breathtaking photos and his work with the Sierra Club. A founder of the photography department at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, he established the medium as a respected form of art.
Award-winning photographic artist and environmentalist, Ansel Adams’ career took off in 1941 when the U.S. government hired him to photograph the country’s national parks. His awe-inspiring works reveal his technical mastery and rank Adams among the world’s most acclaimed landscape photographers. His promotion of photography as fine art helped to establish a permanent photography department at the New York Metropolitan Museum. A staunch champion of wilderness preservation, Adams helped foster an environmental consciousness during his 37-year tenure on the Sierra Club’s Board of Directors.
This art print carries the embossed Authorized Edition seal of the Ansel Adams estate.
