Hyde’s photographs of the American West were used in more environmental campaigns than those of any other photographer. Later in his career Hyde, along with Eliot Porter, became the leading pioneers in advancing color landscape photography as an art form. Hyde made his first landscape photograph in 1942 and trained directly under Ansel Adams, Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange and other renowned photographers at the California School of Fine Arts which is now the San Francisco Art Institute. He was the only full time professional landscape photographer who learned his craft directly from these historic artists and became a master darkroom printer in his own right. In most cases Hyde made only 2 or 4 prints of a given image and on rare occasions would print 8 prints from a specific negative but, never more. These extremely low print numbers (Ansel Adams routinely printed hundreds of prints from a negative) have resulted in Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints being extremely rare and mostly unavailable (long ago snapped up by savvy collectors). A small number of Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints were offered by a handful of prestigious photography galleries Weston Gallery, Scott Nichols Gallery, etc. Our thanks to Philip Hyde’s son David Leland Hyde (an accomplished landscape photographer himself and preservationist of his father’s work) for some of the insights and information contained in this listing.
