Episode #002: Robert Adams with photogravure plates for Harney County, Oregon (1999-2003) in his Oregon studio.
Robert Adams's black-and-white photographs document scenes of the American West, revealing the impact of human activity on the last vestiges of wilderness and open space. An underlying tension in Adams's body of work is the contradiction between landscapes visibly transformed or scarred by human presence and the inherent beauty of light and land rendered by the camera.
LEARN: Robert Adams is featured in the Season 4 (2007) episode Ecology of the Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS.

"Why is Form beautiful? Because it helps us meet our worst fear, the suspicion that life may be chaos and that therefore our suffering is without meaning"
Robert Adams
One of my favourite photographers, a true master of his craft, an accessible academic, and America's conscience.
