Book Description

Wherever one goes in the Southwest one encounters magic, strength, and beauty", wrote Ansel Adams. This magnificent book celebrates Adams' romance with the beguiling desert lands of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah -- places that he returned to again and again from 1928 to 1968. More than 100 superbly reproduced photographs, including "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico" and other celebrated images, give us Adams' powerful and evocative record of this unique region. Here are indelible photographs of our National Parks and Monuments -- the Grand Canyon, Zion, Death Valley, and Joshua Tree, among others -- as well as striking images of Navajo Mountain, Hopi Buttes, Taos Pueblo, saguaro cactus, gravestones, and other varied subjects. Recently refurbished with a handsome new cover design, this stunning volume remains the ultimate gift for anyone who loves Ansel Adams and the American Southwest.

The more than one hundred images--by well-known photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Laura Gilpin as well as by an array of less familiar ones--places the work of local Arizonans alongside that of federal photographers both to illuminate the impact of the Depression on the state's distinctive racial and natural landscapes and to show the influence of differing cultural agendas on the photographic record. Includes essays by a variety of authors on life in 1930s Arizona and the photographers who documented it.
