Grains of Sand: Photographs by Marion Patterson HC 2002 Ansel Adams protege

Description: 1st Printing of Grains of Sand : Photographs by Marion Patterson. From Stanford General Books. 2002. Marion Patterson (1955 AB Philosophy) is a well-known photographer and teacher of photographic art. After graduating in philosophy from Stanford, she studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute (then called the California School of Fine Arts) from 1956 to 1958 with Pirkle Jones, Dorothea Lange, and Minor White before working for Virginia and Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park from 1958 to 1961. She describes her childhood and schooling in Burlingame and her undergraduate years at Stanford where she learned “how to think” in the Philosophy Department but also experienced restrictions as a woman. She recalls the circumstances that led her to embark on a life as an artist and shares memories of Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Minor White, and others in the art photography world. She describes her approach to photography, her 1965 exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, teaching introductory photography to community college students, and the publication of her 2002 album Grains of Sand. She also reflects on the long struggle for opportunities and recognition that she and other woman photographers faced.
