This volume includes four hundred beautifully reproduced and clearly presented images, depicting the best work of a leading landscape photographer. The photographs are chronologically arranged into five major periods to highlight the maturation of Ansel Adams as an artist - from his first photographs in 1916 to his last great photograph in 1968. The book ANSEL ADAMS' 400 PHOTOGRAPHS is intended as an essential gift and reference book for those who appreciate photography and the allure of the natural world. Few artists or photographers of any era can claim to have produced four hundred images of enduring beauty and significance. It is a testament to Ansel's visionary ability and prolific output that a book of this size can be justified. It is a point of pride for Little, Brown to publish a comprehensive overview of Ansel Adams' work in a well-packaged volume.
