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.
