Ansel Adams (1902-1984) a very well know master of photography and arguably the most influential landscape photographer in American history. He was a lifelong conservationist who encouraged understanding of, and respect for, the natural environment. Born in a suburb of coastal San Francisco in 1902, Adams was the only
I can't recommend this per se, because it looks like I'm not going to actually see it—so I can't evaluate it as an example of bookmaking nor appraise its reproduction quality. I've been in discussions with Ammo Books about it,...

Over the weekend, I visited an Ansel Adams exhibition in London. Having found his work even more breathtaking in print, I purchased a documentary about the man himself. It was an effort to learn more about the artist I admired.

The title of this post might cause a sharp reaction for many American readers. That's because John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) was the sixth president of the Untied States, and not at all an Österreicher, let alone a portrait painter. Of course we are dealing here with another John Quincy Adams. This one was a descendent of the President and lived 1874-1933. He became an Austrian because he was born in Vienna (and died there), the son of a Boston-born opera singer. He did spend time in the USA at various points in his life, but considered himself Austrian. His career is sketched here, but it's in German and you might have to have your computer translate. There aren't many images of Adams' work on the Internet. A large share of them are in black and white -- presumably photos of paintings that were lost due to World War 2 or are otherwise untraceable. The images I selected for presentation are all in color. One image I would love to have included is a fine portrait of Sara Sherman Wiborg, later the wife of businessman and artist Gerald Murphy, both famed for their 1920s French Riviera lifestyle (Wikipedia entry here). But so far as I know, it hasn't yet turned up on the Web. Gallery Dame mit Schwartzem Kleid und Hut (Alice Hauser) - 1901 In English, "Woman with Black Clothes and Hat." Portrait einer jungen Dame - 1908 Kaiser Franz Joseph I. in der Dienstuniform eines österreichischen Feldmarschalls - 1914 That's "Emperor Franz Joseph I in the service uniform of an Austrian field marshal." Kitty Baronin Rothschild - 1916 Countess Michael Karoly - 1918 Girl with Flower Branch Luise Eisner, later Princess Odescalchi - 1926
