Product Description
ANSEL ADAMS: 400 PHOTOGRAPHS presents the full spectrum Adams' greatest work in a single volume for the first time, offering an entirely new perspective on his monumental career..
The photographs are arranged chronologically into five major periods in order to convey Adams' development as an artist-from his first photographs made in Yosemite and the High Sierra in 1916 to his work in the National Parks in the 1940s up to his last important photographs from the 1960s. An introduction and brief essays on selected images provide information about Adams' life, document the evolution of his technique, and give voice to his artistic vision.
Few artists of any era can claim to have produced four hundred images of lasting beauty and significance. It is a testament to Adams' vision and a lifetime of hard work that a book of this scale can be justified. ANSEL ADAMS: 400 PHOTOGRAPHS is a must-have reference and gift book for anyone who appreciates photography and the allure of the natural world.

 The Least Impressive Ansel Adams Book. June 28, 2008
Jerry R. Hamby (Green Valley, AZ)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have most of Ansel Adams' books. This is the least impressive of all. Small horizontal pages with vertical landscapes (sometimes only one 5 x 7 on a page) added up to merchandising, certainly not doing justice to this great photographer. Larger book size and orienting the photographs with the page layout would have been FAR better. We would have had to turn the book 90 degrees to view some of his works, but I would have preferred that.
The selected photographs are quite good, but Adams' work requires a better presentation than this. Leave this on the shelf and buy multiple other volumes and be far more pleased.
 400 Photographs of Ansel Adams work June 4, 2008
Terry Hall (Heart of Dixie)
This is an excellent representation of Adams work! What sold me was the quality of the photo reproductions. I have several books that display his photography and this one does the best job of showing the details that Adams wanted to show.
Classic Anthology of Ansel Adam's Work May 25, 2008
Gregory Pai (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA)
This is a classic anthology of the work of Ansel Adams. For those wanting to understand his evolution a photographer this book shows the entire spectrum of his work from his earliest years to his later work. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see the diversity of his work and understand his development as an artist.
400 photographs is not too much... May 24, 2008
Ayral Philippe (France)
It's a wonderfull book with the best from AA. The most popular images and some more are inside, even some I never saw. Well printed.
If you like AA, it's a must to have.
