Ansel Adams at 100

Le livre

In celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ansel Adams, Little, Brown and Company publishes the most significant book yet on his work - an oversized Centennial volume edited and with a text by the curator John Szarkowski. Szarkowski has selected what he considers Adams greatest work - 114 images - and has tracked down the single best photographic print of each. This is the first serious effort to recognize Adams achievements as an artist since his death in 1984. Szarkowski presents an unexpected and sometimes unfamiliar body of work. His critical essay speaks to his judgment of the importance of Ansel Adams as a modern artist.--BOOK JACKET.
