In 1983, Ansel Adams gave a revealing interview to Playboy magazine that offered a window into his mind.

No Fan of President Ronald Reagan

If you knew nothing about Ansel Adams going in, you’d have a solid understanding of who he was coming out. A friend of Adams, photographer James Alinder responded, “James Watt is no better historian of photography than Secretary of the Interior. Ansel Adams has not only made pictures of people, but his portraits form a major part of his photographic production.”

“Take a Picasso sketch of a nude. To me, that’s much nuder than any nude in a photograph. There’s a beautiful, stylized line. In a photograph, you get a literal image and, for me, it doesn’t have the same effect. With nudes, stark reality isn’t as effective as an artist’s interpretation.”follows up by saying, “But you choose to portray nature relatively realistically. Why not the human body?”

And when asked about Diane Arbus, Adams said “I think she was very sick. Her work bothers me terribly,” adding “She makes an effort to take an unpleasant vision and make it more unpleasant. It all just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”, not willing to let that go, followed up by asking “So you’re diminishing whatever social statement Arbus made because of its unpleasantness?”
