This is the first time for many that a significant body of Adams work will be exhibited in a London gallery. “Landscapes of the American West” demonstrates Adams’s technical mastery and innate sensitivity to nature. It includes some of Adams’s most dramatic and recognisable images.
Adams’s love for the wilderness kept him returning to photograph California. As Ben Burdett, Director of the Atlas Gallery says: “In order to fully appreciate Adams’s work you have to see his images in the flesh; his work is technically brilliant from the creation of his photographs to its production and printing. Adams is a master in every aspect of photography.” The landscapes now serve as records to the immense beauty of the regions he has photographed, inspiring artists to serve the interests of the environment and a timely reminder of our collective responsibility to look after our planet.
