A rose seemingly sprouts from a heavily textures piece of wood in Ansel Adams’ “Rose and Driftwood, San Francisco, California.” As a result of his incredible detail and the clarity and grandeur of his work, the legendary Adams (1902 – 1984) helped photography to be recognized as art. A staunch environmentalist, Adams utilized his iconic photos to promote wilderness preservation.
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.
