7. To Be Great Study Ansel Adams “Ansel Adams, whose majestic black- and-white landscapes of the American West and whose devotion to clarity and precision made him probably the best- known photographer in the United States… His photographs have been published in more than 35 books and portfolios, and they have been seen in hundreds of exhibitions, including a one-man show, ''Ansel Adams and the West,'' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1979. In addition to being acclaimed for his dramatic landscapes of the American West, he was held in esteem for his contributions to photographic technology and to the recognition of photography as an art form.” By JOHN RUSSELL Published: April 24, 1984
