Aperture—the premier not-for-profit arts institution
dedicated to advancing fine photography—was founded in 1952 by six profoundly
gifted individuals possessed of lofty ideals and high ambition: photographers
Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Barbara Morgan, and Minor White; historian
Beaumont Newhall; and writer/curator Nancy Newhall. With scant resources,
these prescient artists created a new periodical, Aperture magazine, to serve
the medium, and photography users and fine art lovers worldwide.
