In “Nevada Falls Rainbow”, Ansel Adams breathtakingly captures the splendor of the Yosemite Sierra, whose magnificence profoundly impacted Adams and comprised a substantial portion of his work. Instrumental in advancing photography as a fine art, Adams (1902-1984) pioneered techniques that transformed the camera into a tool as artistic as any paintbrush. A true lover of the American wilderness and dedicated environmentalist, Adams’ spellbinding black and white photography embodies the contrasts of nature’s fierceness and serenity in an effort to inspire its preservation.
