Catalogue Essay
"In the face of all the present turmoil and unrest and unhappiness. . . what can a photographer, a writer, a curator do?. . . To make people aware of the eternal things, to show the relationship of man to nature, to make clear the importance of our heritage, is a task that no one should consider insignificant. These are days when eloquent statements are needed." -- Beaumont Newhall to Ansel Adams, 3 May 1954
