Also On View Now Through August 17, 2008 More than 20 years after his death, Ansel Adams (1902–1984) remains one of the world’s most beloved and widely exhibited American photographers. Comprised of more than 40 photographs selected from the Museum’s extensive holdings of the artist’s work, this exhibition focuses on Adams’s less-familiar landscape images in order to demonstrate his innate understanding of graphic form and balanced design. September 15, 2007 - Fall 2008 Complementing works of art donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art over the years, generous patrons have also given thousands of books and manuscripts to the Library and Archives. The Library and Archives is showcasing these wonderful treasures in a series of exhibitions in its new home in the Perelman Building. Now Through November 02, 2008 From the outset of their joint career, Gilbert Proesch and George Passmore explored and redefined photography as a medium while bridging the gap between art and life. Documenting the reality of daily existence through the lens of their unique sensibility, the artists present a poignant and all-embracing vision of life where marginality and drunkenness, unhappiness and despair, nature and beauty are tenderly revealed.Today's Highlight
