Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs presents the full spectrum of Adams' work
in a single volume for the first time, offering the largest available
compilation from his legendary photographic career. Beautifully produced
and presented in an attractive landscape trim, Ansel Adams: 400
Photographs will appeal to a general gift-book audience as well as
Adams' legions of dedicated fans and students.
The photographs are arranged chronologically into five major periods,
from his first photographs made in Yosemite and the High Sierra in 1916
to his work in the National Parks in the 1940s up to his last important
photographs from the 1960s. An introduction and brief essays on selected
images provide information about Adams' life, document the evolution of
his technique, and give voice to his artistic vision.
Few artists of any era can claim to have produced four hundred images of
lasting beauty and significance. It is a testament to Adams' vision and
lifetime of hard work that a book of this scale can be compiled. Ansel
Adams: 400 Photographs is a must-have for anyone who appreciates
photography and the allure of the natural world.
