Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984) was best known for his black and white photographs of the American West landscapes. One of the most famous photographs was "Moon and Half Dome".
One of the most beautiful world’s photos ever made are those of Ansel Adams. He transformed them, thanks to The Silver Image Gallery, in 1979 in posters. These are distributed on the entire planet. "Sundunes, Sunrise, Death Valley" became a poster which was first for the exhibition publicity. It was printed on a high quality paper and only in two hundred copies.
His photographs are reproduced on calendars and posters, making him and his art timeless.
