Editorial Reviews
Product Description
From 1948 to 1976 Ansel Adams produced seven portfolios, each a limited edition of 10 to 15 signed photographic prints. This book reproduces all 90 of these superb images, including many of Adamss most famous monumental landscape photographs and some remarkable, less familiar portraits and architectural studies. The Portfolios of Ansel Adams was first published in 1977. In 1981 it was decided to take advantage of new printing technology and also to have the book redesigned. In this new printing, the typography from the introductory texts of the original portfolios was faithfully reproduced. In addition, new laser-scanned separations were made of all the images to guarantee the best possible reproduction of the photographs. In his eloquent introduction, John Szarkowski observes that of all Adams publications, his portfolios most clearly represent his personal view of the meaning of his work.
About the Author
In a career that spanned more than five decades, Ansel Adams was at once America's foremost landscape photographer and one of its most ardent environmentalists.
John Szarkowski is Director Emeritus of the Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. His most recent book is John Szarkowski (Bulfinch, 2005) and another of his books, The Idea of Louis Sullivan, was reissued by Bulfinch in 2000. Szarkowski lives in East Chatham, NY, and New York City.
