During his prolific 60-year career, the godfather of American
photography captured iconic images for the Sierra Club and National
Park Service, wrote best-selling books, campaigned for the
environment, and even took President Jimmy Carter’s official White
House portrait. Even so, these make up only a portion of Ansel
Adams’s portfolio. These rare photographs in The Unseen Ansel
Adams come from the celebrated collection of the University of
California. During the 1960s, Adams spent time chronicling the
university’s campuses, including images of Berkeley’s majestic
campanile, Santa Cruz’s ferny forests, Santa Barbara’s pristine
coastline, and UCLA’s stern chancellor. Photography aficionados
will certainly appreciate this fresh look at a master’s
lesser-known work. Spreads feature beautiful black-and-white
photographs that are rich in detail and texture, showcasing Adams’s
unmistakable style. Though best known for his photographs of
nature, Ansel Adams saw beauty in many forms, including many
man-made structures like the modern architecture of UCSD and aerial
shots of Los Angeles’s famous freeways. An avid environmentalist,
Adams spent his career documenting the wonders of the natural
world. See regal eucalyptus groves, sculptural cacti, rocky
valleys, and lacy fungus through Adams’s eyes in remarkable
photographs he took while on a tour of California. Adams continues
to influence contemporary photographers, while enthusiasm for his
work keeps growing.
