Description
Yes, Ansel Adams did color. He sold five of his best photographs to Arizona Highways magazine for its December 1947 edition ? the issue that typically began a gift subscription from Arizonans to their family and friends elsewhere in the world, who came to know the state through pictures. The five Ansel Adams photos are surrounded by the color work of other notable Western photographers of the time, including Josef Muench, Ray Manley, Jack Breed, Herb McLaughlin, Fred Ragsdale and R. F. McGraw. They may not all be household names, but the reader can judge how their talent compares to that of Adams. His photos are: Bryce Canyon (full page, 9×12); Death Valley (8×6.5); Taos Mission Walls (8×5.5); Mesa Verde (8×5.5); Hoover Dam (8×5.5).
