Description

Honoring Grand Canyon National Park on its centennial, The Grand Canyon and the Southwest elegantly portrays the drama and the beauty of the Canyon and the American Southwest. "It is all very beautiful and magical here--a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake it into you. The skies and the land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite..." - Ansel Adams Next to Yosemite and the High Sierra, the Southwest was closest to Ansel Adams' heart. It was there, in the early 1930s, that he was inspired to make photography his life's work. He would return to the region again and again. In his words, "wherever one goes in the Southwest one encounters magic, strength, and beauty." Today, the Grand Canyon is one of America's most popular national parks, hosting more than six million visitors each year. This special edition paperback reproduces Ansel Adams' exquisite photographs of the Canyon alongside iconic images of the Southwest, spanning Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. Edited by Andrea G. Stillman with an introduction by William A. Turnage, this collection of seventy dutotone photographs is complemented by Adams' vivid writings about his travels in the region. The Grand Canyon and the Southwest is an ideal souvenir or gift for visitors to the Southwest, or for anyone inspired by its beauty. Read more

  • Great photos
See Ansel Adams works without going to a museum. The photos are all indexed and easily found. A must have for any Ansel Adams fan.

  • Taking a great photograph is an act of love
. . . or so I've realized after the past three years of looking at _The Grand Canyon and the Southwest_, a collection of black & white photographs by Ansel Adams (Little, Brown and Company, 2000). Photographs such as these--from surreal canyon-scapes to a single cactus in Arizona or a little Navajo/Dineh girl--show a mastery of craft and equipment. But, it's the eye and mind of a visionary artist (Ansel) that makes these photos possible. It makes sense that someone would take a photo of a girl in Canyon de Chelly in her traditional clothing, and it was intelligent to photograph Julian Martinez at San Ildefonso Pueblo, but it takes someone like Adams to have the photo turn out with a life beyond the day it was taken seventy or eighty years ago. Each photo here is an act of meditation, a gift of stillness and quiet being. It's always a spiritual pleasure to see "Tree and Clouds" near Tucson (1944), or "White House Ruin" in Canyon de Chelly, and "Moonrise, Hernandez" (1941). Perhaps, what puts this collect beyond the ordinary are the selected letters Ansel Adams wrote to family and friends while he was on his photography expeditions; a pleasure to read are notes and letters to his wife Virginia, to his parents, to Albert Bender, and Beaumont and Nancy Newhall. In 1936, he wrote to Patsy English, "In many ways the Carlsbad Caverns are symbolic of my life; beautiful and exquisite things that exist only in the light of the moment--the light that comes from the mind and the heart. . . . These things must be caught when they can--worked to perfection when they can" (105). There are also facsimiles of postcards and stationery, and a list of people he visited in Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico. This volume is edited by Andrea G. Stillman, and the Introduction is written by William A. Turnage, and makes an outstanding companion to the 90-minute American Experience PBS broadcast on Ansel Adams in 2002 (for which both Stillman and Turnage were interviewed). ... show more

  • gorgeous
What a treasure of incredibly beautiful photograps. Ansel Adams was a true artist and his books should be a must read for anyone hoping or wishing to take great pictures of Nature. I went to Grand Canyon and the Southwest visiting most of the places he photographed and they look a 100 times more beautiful in these photographs than in reality, and I came back from that trip intoxica ted with so much beauty and sure that that trip was only the first of many. For the next one, this book will be a sure and indispensable companion. ... show more
