“Some photographers take reality… and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.”
—Ansel Adams

Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History on view May 24–September 29, 2024. Of Love and Revelation: Learning Photography from the Land explores California’s tradition of landscape photography as the outcome of relationships—between students and teachers; between the artist and the camera; and between all of us and the land. Guest curated by Gabriel Salomon Mindel, the exhibition features the work of Ansel Adams, Norman Locks, Karolina Karlic, Shelby Graham, Binh Danh, and Edgar Cruz.
