Ansel Adams: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Important sources on the artist include Mary Street Alinder and Andrea Gray Stillman (eds.), Ansel Adams: Letters and Images, 1916–1984 (1988), which reveals a lively sense of his personality and character; and John Szarkowski, Ansel Adams at 100 (2001), a reappraisal of the photographer’s achievement on the occasion of his centennial. The reproductions in this book are exceptional, even by the high standards associated with Adams’s work.
