Next to Yosemite and the High Sierra, the Southwest was closest to Ansel Adams’ heart. It was there, in the early 1930s, that he met photographer Paul Strand and decided to make photography his life’s work. In his words, “wherever one goes in the Southwest one encounters magic, strength, and beauty.”
In The Grand Canyon and the Southwest, Adam’s little known images of the Grand Canyon make up roughly one quarter of the photographs selected and edited by his longtime editor, Andrea Stillman. The varied images portray the balance of desolation and stark beauty in the Southwestern landscape, from Texas to California.
The pictures are complemented by an introduction by Andrea Stillman and a selection of Adams’ vivid letters about the region. In a letter to Alfred Stieglitz he writes, “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 land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite . . .”
