SUMMERTIME at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art brings two of America's most beloved art icons — painter Georgia O'Keeffe and photographer Ansel Adams — together in one gallery with many of their works shown side-by-side.

I saw it earlier this week.

Interesting retrospective on the works of both artists. Many of the gallery rooms were laid out with a certain theme, whether it was trees or the Southwest. There were some clear comparisons between identical subjects, including an adobe church in New Mexico photographed by Adams and painted by O'Keeffe.

The contributions by Adams weren't dominated by his work in Yosemite of the Sierra Nevada.
