The Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Ga., is currently hosting "Ansel Adams: A Legacy." Adams (1902-1984), a highly acclaimed landscape photographer, is best known for his striking images of Yosemite National Park and the wilderness of California and Alaska.
From an early age, Adams enjoyed time spent in nature. As a passionate environmentalist, he became a member of the Sierra Club in 1919, and it was through this club that his photography career grew. Adams’s photographs appeared in the club’s 1922 Bulletin, and his first one-man exhibition was held at the club’s San Francisco headquarters.
This exhibition includes more than 100 original photographs spanning the artist’s career and will be on view through February 20, 2011.
