B&W landscape masters?

[Malice]

Hello
Can you name at least three great masters of B@W landscape photography?
I have tried lately.
1) Michael Kenna
2) Ansel Adams
3) Eeee.... Michael Kenna?
But probably I'm missing someone. Any suggestions?

PS. Probably I should mention something that is called "Kielecka szkoła krajobrazu" but it's a group of people, not one person.

Lots of great photographers out there, but Bruce Barnbaum comes to mind right now. Dead Link Removed

I'd love to take one of his photographic process workshops someday.

Hello
Thank you for new names to check.
But... Weston, Kertesz, landscape phtotograhers?
And Gavin Smith? With Google I have found some fancy sport/fashion commercials.

Brett Weston certainly shot a lot of landscapes. His father Edward I wouldn't necessarily classify as a landscape photographer, though he did shoot 'em. Cole Weston does mostly studio work--nudes and such. I would classify Andre Kertesz a street photographer or to use a more modern term an urban scene photographer. I don't know Gavin's work that well...doesn't he shoot sports and commercial stuff?

Hi,
You asked for B&W landscape photographers, but you failed to define "landscape".
It can be urban landscape as well as Nature, a rural setting.
In other words, it can be anything that shows the setting where humans or any living creature lives.
That is subjective and it is my interpretation.

See here the work of Andre Kertesz: http://www.johnpaulcaponigro.com/blog/13177/14-quotes-by-photographer-andre-kertesz/

Carleton Watkins. Every other landscape photographer stands on his shoulders, he invented the visual vocabulary that defines the photographic landscape. Review his work of Yosemite with an 18x22 inch view camera using the wet-plate collodion process. He made over 1300 mammoth plate images in his career photographing the American west.

Edward Weston received a Guggenheim to photograph the American Western Landscape and he also was hired to photograph American landscape to illustrate Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass book of Poems. Edward Weston is best known for his landscape work on the beaches near Carmel CA. To not know that Edward Weston was a landscape photographer indicates quite a profound ignorance of the subject. I guess that is why you are asking such an arguably stupid question.
