Beyond their shared last name, Ansel Adams and Robert Adams are united by a deep fascination with the American West. While Ansel Adams's dramatic images celebrate the grandeur of places like Yosemite, the High Sierra, and the Grand Canyon, Robert Adams's quietly powerful photographs reveal the beauty and fragility of a landscape increasingly shaped by human intervention. Together at Jackson Fine Art in our Private Collections Salon & Sale, the work of these two photographers encourages a greater appreciation for the American landscape and the need to protect it.
