“Vittorio Sella: His Photography.”

(December 1946)

In this article, Ansel Adams paid tribute to Vittorio Sella: “with Sella’s sensitive insight and response the magnificence of mountains is distilled into a high order of expression . . . the purity of Sella’s interpretations move the spectator to a religious awe. Sella has brought to us not only the facts and forms of far-off splendours of the world, but the essence of experience which finds a spiritual response in the inner recesses of our mind and heart.”
