  • I HI WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1976 Adams photography on display in Belk by Steve Brady Those of you, like myself, who often refer sarcastically to Cullowhee as "the cultural oasis of the southeast" should take the time to water your aesthetic camels at the Ansel Adams Photography Exhibition, on display at the Art Gallery, in the Belk Bidding, through December fifth. There is no need for this reviewer to coin catchy adjectives and bad metaphors in describing the work of Ansel Adams, the "Dean of American landscape Photograhpy" and one of the foremost pioneers of photographic art in the 20th century. Comments from visitors at the exhibit, which opened Sunday, have been more numerous and enthusiastic than at any other recent exhibit, Ray Menze said. Visual Arts Chairman of the Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions Committee- sponsors of the showing. Too often artists, and more often photographers, tend to fall in either of two categories: those who are classically minded and technically gifted, and those who tend toward the Romantic mind set and are artistically gifted. Ansel Adams represents one of those rare persons possessing both of these gifts. The energy one can feel emanating from these photos is an overwhelming testimonial to the dedication with which Ansel Adams has sought to integrate these often disparate elements. By total technical and artistic control he creates a world of incredible detail in juxtaposition with scenes of such majesty that an emotion of other worldliness is stimulated in the viewer. Technique is only a part of the quality in his work however. An avid niscrvationist and naturalist, long before il captui lhcmaticalU. Adams' work is confined to the landscapes of the western United States and Mexico, a tradition precursed by the Hudson Valley painters. However, Adams' work is by no means an attempt to imitate painting, but actually a revolt against the soft focus photographic style at the turn of this century which diil attempt to do so. Along with Edward Weston, Adams helped to secure acceptance of photographic art through the formation of the Group f.64 in 1932. The association was comprised of photographers dedicated to a straightforward and non-manipulated style which would finally establish the photograph as a valid medium in itself. One can have no doubt about their success after attending this incredible show . A closing note on Adams' technique; the system of photography developed by Adams is termed the /.one System and based on the old photographic axiom "expose for shadow and develop for highlights." Although photographers had always and still do apply some ol these principles it remained for Adams to define this as a system. Generally, the , ess involves previsuali/ation ol each - possible tonalities. Then, exposure and development time are calculated so that the negative will contain as many tonalities as possible between rich black and pure white. These principles have many other applications and for those interested are exhaustively set forth in a series of five books by Adams, which are the definitive statement on black and white photograhpy. Interested photographers may benefit from Minor White's Zone System Manual, a summation of these techniques for the technically faint-of-heart Romantic, which are all available in Hunter Library. ^^ ((TS)-The Federal Government's Office of Education has initiated a new service to assist students with problems related to the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program.

In the naiveflush of my first yearhere needed that tt would.be brought about simply by transcends the everyday into something the artist I even wrote an article entitled, "Recruiting a New putting new courses into the syllabus. Unfortunately such Pollyanna dreams were dashed by a long detour caused by a leadership crisis within the University which absorbed the community's creative energy for a number of years. The fact that the house I lived in burnt down and I had to go away for a year to write an alternative doctorate also kept me occupied for a time but now I'm ready again! lt has gradually dawned on me that changes in awareness aren't the result of any one person's work. Much has already begun at this university. Dim stirrings such as the Film Conspiracy. Curtis Wood and Allen Moore's course. "The Future" and C.L, Satterfield's "Cross Cultural Perspectives;" International Studies minor by Jim Lewis and Charles Stevens, the presence on campus of trans-cultural faculty members, such as Vijaya Samaraweera, Tara Rao, and Gunseli Tamkoc, the growth of Cherokee and Jamaican programs with strong administrative support from Drs. Robinson, Stoltz. McCrone and faculty members like French. Perdue, Cook and others, the growth in interest in cultural, environmental and land use with student support from groups such as the Cullowhee Environmental Council and departmental offerings such as Steve Yurkovich's "Environmental Geology". All these are hopeful portents as are the Women's Studies courses initiated by Alice Mathews and others. For the future we'll need to plan for ways of increasing our studies abroad beyond the excellent Columbian Quarter and Spring in England. We'll need to make travels and courses in Africa, the Caribbean. Asia and Oceania more available to our students. We'll need to develop ways to bring more international students to our campus as well as continuing to develop meaningful courses in Appalachian. Black and Southern regional studies. I know that we have the talent and ability to create a far more globally aware campus and I solicit your comments and suggestions on these issues. Certainly these matters need a collage of ideas and each of us will select and work on those which fit our own proclivities. I feel there are real changes underway in human consciousness. I am convinced they may be directed in the direction of something that can be called a global perspective. But my particular description of that phenonmenon may be very suspect.
