Ansel Adams: Visions of Grandeur

Ansel Adams is one of the most legendary California photographers and conservationists, having spent much of his life capturing the rugged Western landscape with intense sharp focus, harmony, and balance. A champion of black and white photography, Ansel Adams cultivated a new modernist style that is still revered today. The photographs on display at the Monterey Museum of Art-La Mirada were generously donated to the Museum by Virginia Adams in honor of Margaret W. Weston, and come from the Museum Set, a project he initiated in his last five years with the help of Maggi Weston and the Weston Gallery in Carmel, California.
