At de Young Museum, Ansel Adams’ mot famous photos of Yosemite, the Sierra Nevada and more are given a new perspective.
Ansel Adams’ “Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite,” from 1907, is on display at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.“Ansel Adams in Our Time,” the title of the new exhibit at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, suggests that his outdoor photographs, with ionic images of Yosemite, speak to us in some new way.
In addition, recent images by more than 20 photographers are interspersed with Adams’ works. Most of them do not depict the environment as the magical place, the pristine wilderness Adams did. One photographer, in fact, set out to “de-cliché” Yosemite. But Adams, born in San Francisco at the beginning of the 20th century, was a restless, adventurous photographer whose art took him far beyond Yosemite.
One of the most dramatic photographs was made not far from his house in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood, which faced the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate. The image of the Golden Gate in 1932 — before the bridge was built — seems confounding at first without that landmark. The Sierra Nevada, Yosemite Valley, the Golden Gate — magnificent subjects, but Adams also made photographs of the less grandiose. A stack of anchors at Fisherman’s Wharf in 1931 — when there were more fishermen than tourists — drew his attention. The image was included in his 1936 one-man show at the prestigious Stieglitz Gallery in New York.
In the mid-1960s he photographed, from a distance, the new subdivisions that were snaking across San Bruno Mountain south of San Francisco.
