Stopped by the post office on my way to Yosemite and look what I found—a book on Ansel Adams! And not just any book, the rarest of Ansel Books. You might be forgiven for thinking there are plenty of Ansel books on the market but if you look closely you will find very few scholarly books. That’s because the people who control the rights to most of Ansel’s images generally don’t let those outside their inner circle use his images—which makes it hard to do a book about an artist! I don’t know what’s going on with this particular book—I haven’t even taken the cellophane off of it yet—but it’s good to see something fresh on one of the primary influences on my own work (though it might very very hard to tell). @beckysenf #yosemite #anseladams #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitevalley #art #artphotography #landscapephotography #groupf64 #centerforcreativephotography #influences #earlyanseladams https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZoDQaFie1/?igshid=1efarbt44xwk2

Our April 5 Photographs sale is highlighted by Johan Hagemeyer's "Magnolia Blossom" from 1925.

Hagemeyer began his working life as a fruit farmer until an introduction to Anne Brigman by Alfred Stieglitz in 1916 prompted him to change direction and open his first portrait studio in Berkeley, California and, the following year, another in Carmel. Other local art-photographers such as Imogen Cunningham, Tina Modotti, and Edward Weston became close friends and mentors. However, despite Weston's influence, Hagemeyer chose not to join the influential Group f.64, whose common goal was to create works that were sharply defined, carefully framed and promoted a new Modernist aesthetic in the American west. Hagemeyer continued to go his own way. creating and exhibiting his very particular elegant Pictorialist photographs until illness and financial problems overcame him.

Group F64 -  Group 64 was a group of seven 20th century photographers, from San Francisco who wanted to created a set of images as they shared a similar style of photography. The seven photographers were Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, John Paul Edwards, Sonya Noskowiak, Henry Swift, Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston. They focused on the style of sharply focused and carefully framed images which seem to be all in black and white. It is said that they wanted to promote a new modernist conception of beauty that was based on perfectly exposed images of natural subjects. According to Willard Van Dyke, the name of the group, F64, was thought of by Ansel Adams as he believed the previous name for the group that was US 256, would be confusing for the public and so decided to rename the group to F64 as it was a aperture setting that was gaining popularity in that era. The reason to why it was F64 was not only its popularity but it also represents what the group was photographing as the large apaerture meant that what ever was shot was going to be clear and defined due to the large amount of depth of field. The grop used a large format camera and a special kind of printing to get their desired effect known as contact printing. This is done by placing photographic paper directly in contact with the negative instead of using an enlarger to project the image on to the paper. They decided to use glossy paper when using this technique as they felt it really showed the outlines of the objects they photographed. As seen in many of their most famous photographs their selected genre of photography would be landscapes and objects within the landscapes such as close ups such as plants and wood like seen in the image above.
