Ansel
Adams : Celebration of Genius
· the exhibition ·
Ansel Adams is among the few photographers in all the history
of photography whose name and work enjoys world-wide recognition.
His stunning landscapes and intimate still lifes of nature continue
to enthrall viewers. Many come to know his work through widely-published
books, postcards, posters, and calendars. Relatively few have
actually seen his lushly-printed images in the original. To do
so is to see the genius in both his craft of printing and his
artful composition. Adams is the master. This exhibition honors
the man and celebrates that genius.
'Celebration of Genius' is an exhibition featuring 150 photographs
by Ansel Adams selected from the George Eastman House International
Museum of Photography and Film in New York, the world's pre-eminent
museum of photography.
This will be the first exhibition of Ansel Adams original photographs
to been seen in Scotland, and the largest ever in the UK.

are beginning to find out that going to
the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity..."
