Opening Weekend of Ansel Adams
February 1, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - February 3, 2019 @ 11:00 pm
In 1916, a fourteen year-old Ansel Adams (1902-1984) began to capture the beauty of the West. Adams’ subsequent body of work – over 40,000 photographs – influenced the practice of countless photographers and played an instrumental role in the rise of the environmental movement in the United States. “Ansel Adams and the Photographers of the West” brings works by Adams and other photographers, such as Edward Weston, Brett Weston, Eliot Porter, Laura Gilpin, Philip Hyde, and William Garnett. Like Adams, these photographers captured the beauty of the West bringing environmental awareness to the forefront of collective concerns in the United States.
