A tree’s broad limbs and lacy leaves illustrate nature’s balance of power and grace in the beautiful “Oak Tree, Sunrise” by Ansel Adams (1902 – 1984). Known for his skillful fusion of dramatic contrasts, Adams was a conservationist who used his photos to promote the balance between people and nature. His passion for nature transformed photography into a respected fine 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.
