ANSEL ADAMS 1902-1984 "Photography is but one phase of the potential of human expression:  all art is the expression of one and the same thing - the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world." PSA Journal 1948 "A picture is usually looked at, seldom looked into" AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER Quotations from A Dictionary of Contemporary Quotations compiled by Jonathon Green American born Ansel Adams is the author of America's best landscape photographs. In 1930 he gave up an early aspiration to be a concert pianist and devoted himself to photography. In 1932 he founded the Group f-64 whose name came from the smallest stop available on a large format camera. This group of 11 photographers which included Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston and his son Brett exhibited together only once in San Francisco in 1932 but they continued to meet informally until 1935. After Alfred Stieglitz he is probably the most influential of all American photographers as lecturer, technician and artist. A retrospective of his work was held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1979.   Ansel Adams Master Photographers (1983)BBC Series "Classical Gems from YOUTUBE" links to valuable Arts videos from the YOUTUBE Site we are at present collecting links to videos about some of these photographers Related Photographers include: R Adams, IMOGEN CUNNINGHAM, Davies, Deal, Van dyke, EDWARD WESTON                                         THERE ARE MORE PRINTS ON THE ALLPOSTERS SITE
