Ansel Adams: American Artist with a Camera

128 pp. | Enslow | December, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-7660-1847-4 $$20.95
(4) YA People to Know series. This biography of the master photographer and wilderness conservationist isn't much interested in Adams's emotional life, only touching on his mental illness. Examined are Adams's technique, formative encounters with fellow artists, and the historical backdrop against which he worked. Scattered throughout are drab black-and-white photos by and of Adams that are often strangely placed. Bib., glos.
