Ansel Adams: A Legacy
May 20 - Aug 19, 2007
See more than 100 images spanning the career of Ansel Adams (1902-1984), the grand master of American landscape photography. The majestic vistas, intimate texture studies, portraits, and architectural views gathered here were printed by Adams late in his career as a statement of his life's work.
While the images span 60 years, these prints were made primarily between the 1960s and early ?80s and share the strong contrast and large size that Adams preferred during those years. The photographs are originally from the collection of the Friends of Photography, one of several organizations Adams helped create to promote fine photography. They are now in the collection of Lynn and Tom Meredith of Austin, Texas. The exhibition appears at the Cleveland Institute of Art and is a co-presentation with the Cleveland Museum of Art. Admission free.
