Webinar: Geology and the Birth of Landscape Photography: Fol lowing Vittorio Sella, Bradford Washburn, and Ansel Adams
Speaker: Paul Santi
The Foothills Art Cen ter in Golden, Colorado hosted an extensive landscape photography exhibit i n 2015, including works from Ansel Adams’ Legacy collection, from Vittorio Sella, the early photographer who inspired him, and from Bradford Washburn, the pioneering aerial photographer. Recognizing the importance of geology in these images, the Center contacted the Colorado School of Mines and requ ested help preparing geology labels to accompany labels written by the cura tor. Over a five month period, seven students selected by application prepa red labels to accompany 37 of the photos, directed by two faculty: a geolog ist and a science historian. Students independently researched the geology of the photographs, which often required a fair amount of detective work fo r some of the century-old images. They then wrote, edited, and trimmed the label text, struggling to stay under the 120 word limit, yet keeping the co ntent interesting, unique, and understandable by a lay audience. Every stud ent edited every label at least four times. Alpine scenes dominated, but su bjects also included glaciated landscapes, arid terrain, sand dunes, rivers , and contrasts in weathering. The exhibit ran from June 13 – August 30, wi th several thousand visitors exposed to the linkage between the stunning la ndscapes and the geology that created them. In this presentation, we will v iew many of these images, learning the geologic setting, how the geology co ntributed to the artistic elements of the photo, and how to look at geology from an artist’s eye.
