Ansel Adams exhibit opening in Fitchburg

Sentinel & Enterprise
FITCHBURG -- Fitchburg Art Museum presents a groundbreaking exhibition of never-before-exhibited photographs by American master, Ansel Adams, sponsored by Workers' Credit Union, opening Sunday, Feb. 11, and running through June 3.
"Ansel Adams in the East: Cruising the Inland Waterway in 1940" depicts more than four dozen square proofs, gelatin silver prints and enlargements from 2.25 inch negatives of a Thanksgiving week cruise on the Inland Waterway by Adams and his friend David Hunter McAlpin, who helped establish the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.
This exhibition focuses on the themes of travel, exploration and a journey, along with the museum's other two winter/spring exhibitions: "Exploring with Pictures and Print: Children's Book Illustrations," and "Frank Gohlke: A Photographic Essay of the Sudbury River."
The public programs for this exhibition include a gallery talk on Sunday, March 4, from 1 to 2 p.m. with the curator of the exhibition, Stephen Jareckie, and a free workshop for teachers on Wednesday, March 28 from 3 to 5 p.m.
"In 2003, Fitchburg Art Museum presented the first exhibition of recently discovered photographic proofs by Adams which depicted his camping trip throughout the Southwest with McAlpin and their friend Georgia O'Keeffe," explains Jareckie, "This collection is equally intriguing as an example of Adams' private photographic work, and will have a wide appeal."
The exhibition is sponsored by Workers' Credit Union. "This is a unique opportunity for our community to see this breathtaking work by Ansel Adams," comments Frederick D. Healey, president and CEO of Workers' Credit Union. "The inland waterways photographs are a fascinating departure for Adams, who is primarily noted for his portraits of the majestic landscapes in the Southwest."
Adults are $7, students age 13 and up and seniors, $5, children 12 and under free. Wheelchair accessible. The Fitchburg Art Museum is located on Merriam Parkway in Fitchburg. For more information call (978) 345-4207, or visit http://www.fitchburgartmuseum.org.
