Ansel And Stoklosa Why Does Ansel Adams' Work Look Way Better In His Books Than Viewing The Originals In The Museum? The Light?

Why does Ansel Adams' work look way better in his books than viewing the originals in the museum? The light? - ansel and stoklosa

I went into the exhibition Adam O'Keefe / Washington DC, and was overwhelmed by the footsteps of Adams. They do not seem to have the light and what effect they have on their books and prints.

Perhaps you have sung over the years? The lighting is very low in the museum, maybe it was?

Could the lighting could be age. As printed books, it will provide copies of the file and stored light in a controlled environment. The screen has a life much more difficult.

I'm not so sure.

Printing pounds is much worse than prints in person. In fact, every pound Adams, who always make concessions to the reproduction of books, saying they are not really impressions of justice.

The lighting can be had, would have a psychological nature. His prints are diminished selenium, and if someone in the sun for several weeks at a time left, I doubt much has changed since it was printed. The view through the glass can also dimish effect.

Oh, and finally has a big difference. See, as described in the book, all this information together in a small place, which are more acute than ever, etc., but perhaps you can see how we really are and their expectations were too high.

But as another said, I saw some prints recently (Nelson-Atkins, MA Kansas City), and they were incredible.

Perhaps the way it was presented in the museum to blame. I saw an exhibition of prints from AA to Boston several years ago and was impressed by the quality.

If the lights were. I saw his work in Cleveland a few years ago, and it was great!
