Ansel Adams (1902-1984) was an American photographer, famous for his black-and-white photographs of Yosemite Valley in California. He did not fit into the conventional school system and left at the age of 12 with dreams of becoming a pianist. However, he became interested in photography after seeing the negatives of Paul Strand. For a long time, he was torn between becoming a pianist or a photographer as his life's work. At the age of 17, he joined the Sierra Club, an environmental organization, and remained a lifelong member with his wife. He realized that he could capture photographs as a rigorous, burning poetry of the real (in his own words). Subsequently, he advocated for environmental protection, and his works served as records of American national parks before human intervention, supporting the activities of the Sierra Club and drawing attention to environmental issues.

This poster is an offset print. Offset printing is a type of planographic printing that utilizes the water-repellent properties of oil (ink). It is characterized by minimal friction on the plate and paper, as printing occurs via an intermediate transfer medium rather than directly from the plate to the paper. It allows for accurate and sharp multicolor printing and is widely used in modern color printing due to its high reproducibility from the original plate.
