Photography Art Prints
One of the most treasured American exponents of the art is Ansel Adams. He became famous for his art photography prints of the American West and Yosemite National Park in particular. He loved this landscape and was a passionate environmentalist. To capture vast scenes of mountains, forests and lakes he used a large format camera. He was made a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1966 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, which is the highest award that a civilian can receive in the United States. Aspens Northern New Mexico, Oak Tree, Sunset City, California 1932, Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake Denali National Park Alaska and Moon and Half Dome Yosemite National Park 1960 are some of his reproduced works.
Henri Cartier Bresson was a French man, known as the ‘father of modern photo-journalism’. He was largely responsible for taking photography out of the studio and into the street for candid shots, rather than formal poses. He began as a painter and was a true artist with a camera. Taking art photography prints of Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, and Madrid he travelled extensively in Europe. His travels also took him to Japan, China, India and the Soviet Union. Cartier-Bresson helped to form the influential Magnum picture agency for photo-journalism. Ahmedabad, Guejerat, India 1966, Queen Charlotte’s Ball 1959, Sidewalk Café, and the view from Top of Notre Dame are among his prints that are available to buy.
Bill Brandt was a British photographer and photo-journalist, celebrated for his landscapes, nudes, and his documentation of British life. The Government commissioned him to photograph the underground bomb shelters for civilians during the Blitz in London in World War II. His nude art photography prints are in black and white and artfully shot, as in Nude 1952. Rider on Horseback in Hyde Park, a shot from 1940 in London’s famous park, showing a rider on a white horse and a line of trees is amongst Brandt’s work to be featured in Life Magazine,
Known mostly for his pictures of celebrities Robert Mapplethorpe is an American photographer. The iconic cover of Patti Smith’s debut album “Horses” sealed his reputation when photographed her. He also took pictures of Grace Jones, Richaed Gere, Debbie Harry and Andy Warhol. Prints of flowers make up many of Mapplethorpe’s other art photography prints.
