For monochrome photographers, Adams' work is a model, although the subject matter can seem limited at times. ( ) While I am normally one more drawn to urban-centric photography rather than scenic landscapes, I found this collection of Ansel Adam's work to be stunning. His thematic range may not be very broad, but his aesthetic touches - specifically in regards to composition, image depth, and light quality - are perfection. It is no wonder that he is one of the greats in the world of photography. So Ansel Adams is widely regarded as the pre-eminent photographer of the North American landscape and that view is amply justified by this book spanning his entire career from amateur teen to elder statesman of the photographic world. More surprisingly it also demonstrates that Adams was also capable of great work in the genres of protraiture, architecture and macros, too. The book is organised by decade and it is interesting to note that Adams attained technical mastery before he fully grasped compositional mastery. (He openly admitted this and it's clear in the book.) Now my photographic skills are insignificant compared to many a dedicated amateur, let alone one of history's greatest, but the bit I find interesting and rewarding is the framing of a picture. Technicalities bore me. It's encouraging to find that even a genius such as Adams surely was had to actively learn how to do it. Anyway, great book if you want an overview of Adams' personal (as opposed to commercial 'gun for hire') work. Ansel Adams was a pioneering photographer and environmental activist. The book covers these periods in his life: Introduction: --1916-1930: Yosemite and the High Sierra --1931-1939: Group f/64 and Alfred Stieglitz --1940-1949: National Parks and Monuments --1950-1959: Conservation, Publications, and Commissions --1960-1968: Carmel it's mostly about his photography, but intertwines activism. His photographs, mostly in black and white, are some of the most stunning examples of nature and urban scenery nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"In a career that spanned six decades, Ansel Adams produced a remarkable body of work that is at once an artistic tour de force and a powerful tribute to his beloved American wilderness. Adams was given his first camera, a Kodak Box Brownie, in 1916, and made his first photographs during a family vacation in Yosemite National Park. Thus began a career and a lifetime devoted to making indelible images of America's wild places, its national parks, and its great mountain ranges." "This book is the largest compilation of Adams' photographic oeuvre ever published. Organized chronologically, it presents the full range of his finest work, from early efforts in the 1920s, to his projects in the national parks in the 1940s, up through his last important photographs of the 1960s. Included are Adams' most popular images - many of them icons of twentieth-century art - as well as a number of masterly but little-known photographs."
"Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs offers a survey of his development as an artist, of the themes and subjects' that animate his work, and of the evolution of a style that is uniquely that of Ansel Adams - America's best-known and best-loved photographer."--Jacket.
