Publisher's Synopsis
In a career that spanned more than five decades, Ansel Adams was at once America's foremost landscape photographer and one of the country's most ardent environmentalists. A master photographer, teacher and naturalist, the profound impact of his work continues to expand as each generation discovers the magnificent, luminous beauty of his art. This new postcard book will feature photographs that appear in the centennial book ANSEL ADAMS AT 100 and the accompanying touring exhibition which opens in America August 2001 and arrives in London in October 2002. A perfect and inexpensive souvenir the images in this book have been selected by John Szarkowski, the author/curator of the book and exhibition, and include mountainous landscapes, waterfalls, details of nature and near-abstract compositions of rocks and water.
