ANSEL ADAMS
Half Dome, Sunlight on Merced River, Yosemite National Park. 1935
19 3/8″ x 15 1/4″ Rare vintage gelatin silver print
On early warm-toned matte paper and a single ply mount
Signed in pencil on lower right of mount recto

This fine and velvety print is undoubtedly one of the first 16″ x 20″ photographs ever made by Adams. The Center for Creative Photography which houses the Ansel Adams photographic archive has an unsigned 8″ x 10″ print of this image.

The scene prominently features Yosemite’s Half Dome peak between parting trees, as summer light reflects on a flowing Merced River.

Ansel Adams Murals — Paul Masson Vineyards

The Story of a Winery

Paul Masson Vineyards, Saratoga, California

ANSEL ADAMS
Paul Masson Vineyards. 1959
39 1/4″ x 38 1/2″ Vintage mural-sized gelatin silver print
Available in smaller sizes, with variations
From “The Story of a Winery”

Now known as The Mountain Winery, Paul Masson Vineyards built La Cresta, the “Vineyard in the Sky”, in 1905. Masson and vintner Charles Lefranc grafted imported vines to Franciscian “Mission” vines left behind by missionaries years before, and their fine selection of French clippings helped to create a positive reputation for California wines worldwide.

The vineyard weathered prohibition by selling grapes wholesale, and by receiving a special designation to sell sacramental wines.

ANSEL ADAMS
The Rotunda, Paul Masson Vineyards. 1959
31 1/2″ x 41″ Vintage mural-sized gelatin silver print
From “The Story of a Winery”

Born in Burgundy, France, Paul Masson was on a mission to create fine Californian champagne. Before he acquired La Cresta, Masson had won the champagne category of the Paris Expo in 1900, earning a reputation as the “Champagne King of California”.

The Rotunda, the vineyard’s champagne cellar with pool and fountain, were built to symbolize the effervescence of the beverage.

ANSEL ADAMS
Winery Facade, Paul Masson Vineyards. 1959
40 1/2″ x 20″ Vintage mural-sized gelatin silver print
From “The Story of a Winery”

The Concert Summer Series at Paul Masson Vineyards began in 1958. To this day, musicians continue to grace the concert bowl stage, located in front of the winery’s facade shown above.

Winemaking stopped at Paul Masson Mountain Winery in 1952.
In 2004 the vineyards were reestablished for production.

GEORGE TICE
Artie Van Blarcum. 1977
7″ x 9 1/2″ Vintage signed gelatin silver print

A true portrait of steadfast and sentimental family values, Artie Van Blarcum is a photograph and also an extended portrait in book form, published by George A. Tice in 1977. Artie works in the family business, lives in the family house, and vacations in the same summer bungalow his parents rented for years. Once a family of seven, at the time of this photo project, he and his brother lived out their daily routines as bachelor roommates in Bloomfield, New Jersey, with their pet dog and cat.

Out of all the interesting people I know, I’m the least interesting.
Why would anyone want to do a book about me?
— Artie Van Blarcum

There’s only one Artie Van Blarcum, but I also discovered there’s a bit of Artie in all of us.

Ted Cook with Contax, Laguna
A portrait by Edward Weston

EDWARD WESTON
Ted Cook with Contax, Laguna. 1937
9 5/8″ x 7 5/8″ Vintage gelatin silver print
Signed and dated in pencil on mount recto

This vintage 1937 original looks like it could have been taken today.
Who was Ted Cook?

We discovered that he was a journalist in Los Angeles. In 1923–1924 he worked as the editor in chief for the Los Angeles Record, and later wrote for the Los Angeles Examiner. He had his own nationally syndicated humor column “Cook-Coos” in the 1930s and ’40s. But he was also intertwined with the art scene, specifically photography.

In 1932, he was a member of the art committee for the New School for Social Research in Los Angeles, chaired by LA art critic Arthur Millier. The committee provided the platform to unveil Street Meeting, the first American fresco by Mexican painter David Alfaro Siqueiros. The mural was commissioned by and painted at the Chouinard School of Art in Los Angeles.

A few years later, in March 1935, we find Ted Cook now traveling to Mexico with Pancho Barnes and George Hurrell. They were on assignment: a paid editorial with photography about Mexico, funded by Dolores Del Rio. Ted Cook was the writer for the expedition. Hurrell’s career timeline mentions shooting photos with Edward Weston in January 1936, followed by another trip to Mexico for Hurrell and Cook in June 1936.

In the Edward Weston Archive at the Center for Creative Photography, they show a record of correspondence between Cook and Weston for a number of years. The two had become good friends.

With this timeline, we have additional context for the 1937 Edward Weston photograph Legs in Hammock, which shows Charis Wilson’s legs outstretched.

EDWARD WESTON
Legs in Hammock, Laguna. 1937

This vintage print is at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
It is inscribed “At Ted Cook’s” on the mount verso.

There is one Ted Cook photograph held by the Eastman Museum, dated c. 1943.
He is mentioned in the 2006 book A Staggering Revolution: A Cultural History of Thirties Photography by John Raeburn.

Ted Cook passed away in 1966 at the age of 74.
