MANZANAR:
THE WARTIME PHOTOGRAPHS OF
ANSEL ADAMS

Exhibition premieres at the
Jundt Art Museum, Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA,
in Janaury 2014

This exhibition features fifty photographs by Ansel Adams of the Japanese American relocation camp in Manzanar, California, during World War II. These photographs were the subject of his controversial book Born Free and Equal, published in 1944 while the war was still on, protesting the treatment of these American citizens. An eight page gallery guide has been published for the exhibition.

Adams's Manzanar work is a departure from his signature style of landscape photography. Although a majority of the photographs are portraits, the images also include views of daily life, agricultural scenes, and sports and leisure activities.

Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritus, Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, in his essay for the exhibition writes, “This exhibition recounts one of the darkest moments in the history of the United States, one that the distinguished author John hersey referred to as ‘a mistake of terrifyingly horrible proportions.’ It is a story of ignorance and prejudice, but also a story of perseverance and nobility. What happened should never be forgotten so that it should never happen again.” Johnson continues, “This is not only an art exhibition, a history lesson, or a study in race relations; it is all three.”

Also included in the exhibition are more than twenty-five various photographs, documents, and works of art that further record this era. An eight page gallery guide has been published for the exhibition.

The exhibition will premiere at the Jundt Art Museum, Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA, in January 2014, and then be available for circulation through 2016. The exhibition is organized by Photographic Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.
