"In Praise of Nature: Ansel Adams and Photographers of the American West"
2000-01-19 until 2000-03-19
Portland Museum of Art
Portland, ME, USA United States of America

The American West has been a source of inspiration for photographers since they first ventured west of the Mississippi River at the end of the 19th century. In Praise of Nature traces American photographers exploration of the West from 1860 to 1960. Showcasing more than 150 rare photographs of Americas rugged, natural beauty, this breathtaking exhibition includes 69 works by Ansel Adams. It offers new appreciation for one of photographys greatest masters by placing his work in the context of 100 years of photography by his predecessors and contemporaries. In addition to Adams, the exhibition showcases works by 25 photographers, including Imogen Cunningham, George Fiske, William Henry Jackson, Timothy OSullivan, Carleton Watkins, and Edward Weston.

In Praise of Nature: Ansel Adams and Photographers of the American West was organized by the Dayton Art Institute. The presentation of this exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art is made possible by the generous support support of Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair, with media support provided by The Portland Phoenix and 92.1 FNX.
