Artists in conversation

Edward Weston
American · b. 1886

Weston shared Adams's approach to sharp focus black and white photography of industrial and architectural subjects along the California coast, bringing the same technical precision and formal clarity to documenting industrial structures and their surrounding landscapes.

Charles Sheeler
American · b. 1883

Sheeler was a master of Precisionism who documented American industrial facilities like the Ford River Rouge plant with the same reverent attention to geometric form, architectural structure, and the aesthetic grandeur of industrial machinery that Adams brought to this Georgia Pacific mill.

Berenice Abbott
American · b. 1898

Abbott dedicated her career to documentary photography of industrial and urban architecture with a sharp straight photography aesthetic, capturing the formal beauty of industrial structures and infrastructure with the same clarity and documentary seriousness visible in this Adams industrial landscape.
