Photography Art Prints

One of the most treasured American exponents of the art is Ansel Adams. He became famous for his art photography prints of the American West and Yosemite National Park in particular. He was a passionate environmentalist and loved this landscape. To capture vast scenes of mountains, forests and lakes he used a large format camera. He was made a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1966 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, which is the highest award that a civilian can receive in the United States. Aspens Northern New Mexico, Oak Tree, Sunset City, California 1932, Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake Denali National Park Alaska and Moon and Half Dome Yosemite National Park 1960 are some of his reproduced works.

Known as the ‘father of modern photo-journalism’ Henri Cartier Bresson was a French man. He was largely responsible for taking photography out of the studio and into the street for candid shots, rather than formal poses. A true artist with the camera he began as a printer. Taking art photography prints of Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, and Madrid he travelled extensively in Europe. Japan, China, India and the Soviet Union were also places he visited. Cartier-Bresson helped to form the influential Magnum picture agency for photo-journalism. His prints available to buy include View from Top of Notre Dame, Sidewalk Café, Boulevard Diderot, Queen Charlotte’s Ball 1959, and Ahmedabad, Guejerat, India 1966.

Bill Brandt was a British photographer and photo-journalist, celebrated for his landscapes, nudes, and his documentation of British life. The Government commissioned him to photograph the underground bomb shelters for civilians during the Blitz in London in World War II. His nude art photography prints are in black and white and artfully shot, as in Nude 1952. Brandt’s work was used by Life magazine, including the print, Rider on Horseback in Hyde Park, a shot from 1940 in London’s famous park, showing a rider on a white horse and a line of trees.

Known mostly for his pictures of celebrities Robert Mapplethorpe is an American photographer. His reputation was sealed when he photographed Patti Smith for the iconic cover of her debut album, Horses. He also took pictures of Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, Richard Gere and Grace Jones. Prints of flowers make up many of Mapplethorpe’s other art photography prints. They often have a luminous sheen when delicately shot with pale colours.
