Catalogue Essay
'Ansel’s legacy will of course be his incomparable photographs – both as demonstration of his brilliant technique, which has so fundamentally altered our conception of photographic picture making in the twentieth century, and also because of their style and content. They tell us not only of his concern for our land but of his concern for everything about us. They are timeless and expressive with the haunting quality of the deeply felt." – Peter Bunnell, former David H. McAlpin Professor of the History of Photography and Modern Art at Princeton University and former Chair of The Friends of Photography
