Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Robert Adams, from the "Ecology" episode in Season 4 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Ecology" premiered in November 2007 on PBS.

While living in Colorado Springs, Robert Adams began to capture black and white photographs of a burgeoning suburban strip–highways and tract houses that marred a dramatic landscape–a development that he loathed. Yet when Adams examined the images in his darkroom, he recognized for the first time the beauty within these pictures.

Robert Adams was born in Orange, New Jersey, in 1937. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/robert-adams
