"It is a celebrated aspect of art in the National Parks that, when successful, it evokes an emotional response and depicts a consequential interpretation of these majestic spaces. This sentiment is on full display when looking at the Ukiyo-ë style woodblock prints of Tom Killion. Each print is full of life – with playful lines, graphic designs and rich color or tone – but there is also sincerity to it in the way it promotes a nearly unadulterated landscape worthy of our appreciation." – Excerpt from our current exhibition "Trails and Trees of California: Works by Tom Killion"

Ansel Adams began the Yosemite Special Edition Photograph series back in 1958 with the goal of offering a collection of beautiful works of art as an affordable alternative to original photographs. Each 8x10 inch silver photograph is hand-crafted from the artist's original negative by Alan Ross, a master photographer and Ansel Adams' former assistant.

Made near Cartridge Creek in what would later be Kings Canyon National Park, Andrea Stillman refers to this area as "Ansel's favorite wilderness region in the Sierra." Ansel likely composed the image on a trip with the LeConte family in the mid 1920's and later in 1927 Ansel would include this image and another from Marion Lake in his first major portfolio, the "Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras."

Ansel Adams made this image in 1938 with an 8" x 10" view camera from the Old Sentinel Bridge near the Yosemite Chapel. Though the old bridge was replaced in 1994, the new Sentinel Bridge remains one of the best viewpoints in Yosemite valley and a popular spot for photographers – in large part because of Adams' photograph from this location.

“Wherever one goes in the Southwest,” Ansel Adams wrote, “one encounters magic, strength, and beauty.” Today, The Ansel Adams Gallery is pleased to offer two works connected to this extraordinary chapter in Ansel’s career: "Dust Storm, Taos, New Mexico" and the book "Taos Pueblo."

Together, they reveal the depth of Ansel’s vision in the Southwest. In Dust Storm, the landscape becomes an atmosphere, volatile and alive in the otherworldly light. And in Taos Pueblo, it is possible to own one of the defining publications of his early career, a rare union of photography, literature, craft, and place. Learn more 👉 https://bit.ly/3Sv8ymK

📣 📣 Our newest exhibit "Trails and Trees of California: Works by Tom Killion," featuring artwork by renowned woodblock artist and printer Tom Killion opens this week.

Born and raised in Mill Valley, the rugged scenery of Northern California inspired Tom from an early ago to create landscape prints from linoleum and wood, strongly influenced by the traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e style of Hokusai and Hiroshige. Each print is full of life – with playful lines, graphic designs and rich color or tone – but there is also sincerity to it in the way it promotes a nearly unadulterated landscape worthy of appreciation.
