Ansel Adams is among the few photographers in all the history of photography whose name and work enjoy worldwide recognition. His stunning landscapes and intimate still lifes of nature continue to enthrall viewers. Adams’s ability to convey the power and grandeur of nature in a black-and-white photograph is astounding. This exhibition honors the man and celebrates his genius.
Jeanne Verhulst discusses some of her favorite works in the sold-out traveling exhibition Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius. Ms. Verhulst is the associate curator of exhibitions at George Eastman House, International Center of Photography and Film.
