Catalogue Essay
"[Adams’s] pictures looked unlike other pictures. . . If you wanted to try to define the content of it, I think you'd have to say it has to do with his appreciation of the landscape as something that's not permanent but evanescent – always, always in the process of becoming something else." – John Szarkowski
