Talk about Ansel Adams (see "A door to nowhere" thread) had me searching
for something about a repeated criticism of Ansel Adams that I've run
across: that he's the Normal Rockwell of photogs; that his output is
kitsch rather than art; that his belief in beauty above all rather then
social relevance, left him on the bottom rung of fine arts.
So I located this excellent essay:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ansel-adams-but-is-it-art-749574.html
Criticism of AA seems to boil down to a fashion thing. It seems to be
safe to like Adams again. :)
