Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius
You shouldn't miss this exhibition of 150 photographs of Ansel Adams in Savannah. It's a good idea to visit the Jepson Art Center because the exhibition ends at 6th of January.
Admired as both a master photographer and a dedicated conservationist, Adams is most closely associated with stunning images of the American West, and California’s Yosemite Valley in particular. During the course of his influential career, Adams developed new techniques to enhance contrast in black-and-white photography, founded the influential f/64 Group, and earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts in photography and conservation, all while creating some of the most iconic images in the history of photography. Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius presents work from the 1920s through the 1960s from the permanent collection of the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, including many of Adams’s most iconic images of the American West, such as Monolith, the Face of Half Dome (1927). Yet the show includes equally impressive, if lesser-known, images such as Roots, Foster Gardens, Honolulu (1948), as well as portraits and subjects as humble as fence posts, ennobled by Adams’s technical finesse and inspired vision. Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius has been organized by the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film.
