. The book chronicles Ansel Adams' spiritual journey and its relationship to his photography, which, I'll admit, is something I hadn't been thinking about, prior to picking up this text.However, it also contains an excellent list of references, including this one, describing what we think of as The Mural Project as merely the beginning of a much larger set of works:
The set of images from the national parks was only the first in a series of subjects originally planned to include Native American reservations, grazing, mining, fisheries, power, and irrigation. Ansel Adams, "Mural Project for the United States Department of the Interior Building, Washington, D.C.," 7 December 1941, typescript, Yosemite Research Library, Yosemite National Park, California.I think I really need to visit the Yosemite Research Library. Perhaps an e-mail to Anne Hammond is also in order.
