Ansel Adams in Color

Ansel Adams in Color; edited by Harry M. Callahan; with John P. Schaefer and Andrea G. Stillman; introduction by James l. Enyeart; selected writings on color photography by Ansel Adams; Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1993. First edition. From the blurb – This landmark book presents fifty majestic images by America’s greatest landscape photographer – the first time that an important body of Ansel Adam’s color work has ever been published. Ansel Adams began to photograph in color soon after Kodachrome was invented in the mid-1930s, and shot more than 3,000 color images during the course of his lifetime. Very few of these photographs, however, were published or exhibited. As Adams remarked late in his life after observing the advances in color printing techniques – people are skeptical about my thoughts on color. I do not blame them, as I have protested it and have not shown my color pictures. I feel the urge now and I wish I were sixty years younger. Employing state-of-the-art color imaging and printing technology, Ansel Adams in Color faithfully reproduces dozens of unforgettable color photographs of the American wilderness and enables us to appreciate anew the grandeur and artistry of Adam’s vision. These magnificent images, accompanied by an introductory essay by James Enyeart and a selection of Ansel Adam’s thoughtful. Often contradictory writings on color photography, add a fascinating new dimension on Adams’ enduring legacy. This large format book, 132 pages measuring 280mm X 250mm, is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A well-made book with high quality reproductions of the artist’s creative not in black & white works. This book may require additional postage.…
