Ansel Adams lecture, i
exhibit showcased at
Hayden Art Gallery |
ByJohnFulwtoer
Senior Editor
Many people know the name. Sunday through Tuesday, they can get to
know the man.
Famed landscape photographer Ansel Adams, though deceased, practi
cally will be in Lincoln. The Nebraska Art Association is bringing a three
day exhibition of his photographs to Haydon Gallery Sunday through Tues
day, and a slide lecture by Adams biographer Mary Alinder to Sheldon
Memorial Art Gallery Tuesday.
Describing an art-world legend is a task fraught with peril, but Haydon
director Anne Pagel took a stab at it for the benefit of those less familiar
with Adams’ work.
“He had an eye to see beyond a romanticized vision of nature,” Pagel
said. Along with other West Coast photographer members of Group f/64,

cated “straight photogra
phy” — a concern for
showing the strength and
power of a subject by mak
ing a precise, rather than
idealized, photograph.
Adams, who died in
1984, loved Yosemite Na
tional Park, a love that is
reflected in his many pho
tographs of the sweeping
vistas at the park. All of
his photographs are in
black and white, and are
available nearly every
where as framed prints
and posters.
Sunday’s photography
exhibition at Haydon was
organized by Alinder and
her husband, Jim. To
gether they own the
Alinder Gallery in
Gualala, Calif. In addition
to photographs by Adams,
they will have works by
Imogen Cunningham,
Wright Moths, Paul Strand

assistant and writer Of his
memoirs. “Ansel Adams:
