ANSEL ADAMS: Early Works OPEN THROUGH MARCH 27, 2022 DUNNEUM 1899 W. WINCHESTER RD. LIBERTYVILLE DunnMuseum.org 847-968-3400 MUS LAKE COUNTY FOREST PRESERVES Ansel Adams (1902-1984) was a giant in the field of landscape photography. His images of the unspoiled Western landscape were informed by his belief in the transcendental concept of the sublime-a complex combination of overwhelming awe and fear. Adams was a poet of light, both in the field and in the darkroom. Many viewers are familiar with Adams' heroic, high-contrast prints from the 1970s. Ansel Adams: Early Works focuses on the artist's masterful, less well-known small prints from the 1920s through 1950s. By capturing the power of nature, Adams changed our understanding of landscape photography, solidifying it as a legitimate form of modern art. This exhibition is organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions, LLC. All works are from the private collection of Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg.
