Summary:

In Dayton, the exhibition is presented by National City and WHIO-Channel 7 with additional support from The Reynolds & Reynolds Company, Mrs. Mary Mikesell Mapp, Montgomery ****** Regional Arts & Cultural District and Motophoto. This exhibition closely examines the work of Ansel Adams not only from an aesthetic perspective, but also in the context of his oeuvre as it relates to the tremendous body of work by other photographers of the West. The work of those who proceeded him as well as his contemporaries during the first century of photography are included in this exhibition providing a more complete view of Adams as the consummate photographer of natural America. Photographs of Yosemite National Park, as well as his more intimate and less-often-seen views of cactus and oaks, are included. Complemented by a fully illustrated catalogue, IN PRAISE OF NATURE: Ansel Adams and Photographers of the American West will be on view at The Dayton Art Institute followed by a national tour. -Text from the exhibition website (see link below).
