Bargain of the week: The Golden Decade

The book focuses on CSFA’s photography department, covering the years between 1945 and 1955, the period known as “The Golden Decade.”

After World War II the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA) in San Francisco hired renowned photographer Ansel Adams to establish one of the first fine art photography departments in the United States. The caliber of teachers and guest instructors assembled there was unmatched, and the school was one of the most avant-garde art schools of its time.
