Ansel Adams and the American Landscape by Jonathan Spaulding

Ansel Adams created dramatic and influential photographs renowned for their classic and awe-inspiring beauty. His evocative still lifes became icons of the environmental movement and introduced the general public to photography as art. Despite this, Adams is one of the least studied of 20th-century artists. This text aims to put the photographer in context, as a craftsman in a new field and a pioneer in environmental activism, and as a man tackling the question of how art and nature intersect in the modern world.
Jonathan Spaulding is an independent scholar who received a doctorate from the University of California, Los Angeles. He lives and writes in Pasadena, California.
