Description
In the years since Edward Weston passed away in Carmel, California, he remains in memory as a man of great spirit, integrity, and power. To me he was a profound artist and friend in the deepest sense of the word. Living, as I do now, within a mile of his last home, sensing the same scents of the sea and the pine forests, the grayness of the same fogs, the glory of the same triumphal storms, and the ageless presence of the Point Lobos stone, I find...

"This is the first major book to celebrate the Huntington's collection of five hundred Edward Weston photographs, all of them selected and printed for the institution by the artist in the 1940s. The Guggenheim photographs lie at the heart of this legacy, but Weston also included in his gift still-life studies from the early 1920s and 1930s, as well as later landscapes from the 1940s. Weston selected these photographs as representative of his best...

Description
Presents examples of Weston's work interspersed with descriptions of the events in his life that influenced his style.
"This volume of photographs commemorates the centennial of Weston's birth. It is notable because it contains seldom-seen early work as well as obscure color work done late in his career. The early work, mostly soft focus portraits, shares little with the clean, sharp style and carefully observed forms for which he is renowned. The...

It is a kind of...
