Obscura Gallery is thrilled to announce a two-person exhibition by 20^th-century masters Paul Caponigro and Ansel Adams. Each originally a gifted pianist, these photographers are renowned for their exquisite black and white artworks in which they blended poetic vision with unmatched darkroom skills.  Ansel Adams (1902–1984) honed the technique of photographic chemistry and developed the zone system – a calculated way to control exposure and development of a negative and a print to achieve a specific tonal range. While Paul Caponigro (1932-2024) learned technical skills from Adams’ methods, he worked more intuitively, relying on his creative intuition more than strictly analytical field methods to achieve his final prints. While these two artists approached the medium differently, they both produced some of the most iconic and revered photographic prints from the 20^th Century known for their beauty that stand as landmarks of fine photography in the history of the medium.

The reception takes place on Ansel Adams birthday, Friday, February 20, from 4-6pm.
