Ansel Adams: Early Works

We all know that Ansel Adams was a giant in the field of landscape photography. Many viewers are familiar with Adams’ heroic, high-contrast prints from the 1970s.  “Ansel Adams: Early Works” focuses on the artist’s masterful, less well-known small prints from the 1920s through 1950s.  By capturing the power of nature, Ansel Adams changed our understanding of landscape photography, solidifying it as a legitimate form of modern art.

The exhibit is also available virtually at the following site:
