During the years 1941-1942, Ansel Adams was employed by the U.S. Department of the Interior to take a series of photographs in the Western national parks. These photographs were part of the Mural Project, a series of decorative murals created for the Department's new museum in Washington, D.C. at the request of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. Ickes learned of Ansel Adams' work and decided that photographic murals would be an appropriate addition to the conventional, painted murals already commissioned for the Project. --Quote from dust jacket |
