Corcoran Gallery of Art: Ansel Adams
EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT
Corcoran Gallery of Art
Now through January 27
Ansel Adams take s a new look at the work of this important and influential photographer through approximately 125 images drawn from The Lane Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Acquired by William H. and Saundra B. Lane directly from the artist during a 10-year period in the early 1960s and 1970s, the photographs showcase Adams’ extraordinary range and span the length of his six decade career, with particular emphasis on his early work.
Rarely exhibited prints are presented along with several of Adams’ iconic landscapes, offering new insight into one of the very few photographers in the history of the medium whose name and images enjoy worldwide recognition.
Known primarily for his dramatic black-and-white vistas of Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Adams was in fact a versatile photographer who made portraits of artist friends, close-up nature views, striking architectural and urban views, and documentary images.
Ansel Adams is arranged chronologically and divided into several sections: Early Work (including photographs of the High Sierra, Canadian Rockies, and Pueblo Indians), Group f/64: Exploring Straight Photography, Yosemite, The American Southwest, Alfred Stieglitz and New York, The National Parks, and Late Work.
