Edward Weston: Masters of Photography Series (Aperture Masters of Photography) Details
Review "Weston is, in the real sense, one of the few creative artists of today. He has recreated the matter-- forms and forces of nature; he has made these forms eloquent of the fundamental unity of the world. His work illuminates man's inner journey toward perfection of the spirit."--Ansel Adams Read more About the Author Born in 1886 in Highland Park, Illinois, Edward Henry Weston began to photograph in 1902. In 1906 he decided to move to California and take up photography professionally. In 1937 Weston was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, the first ever for a photographer. He continued to photograph until 1948. Thereafter, until his death in 1958, he supervised the printing of his best work by two of his sons, Brett and Cole, and Dody Warren. Read more

Reviews
Weston's work was almost abstract in its simplicity and concern with the interplay of line, texture, and shape. His iconic image of the pepper presents the vegetable as suggestive of a human form, while at the same time it is, unmistakeably, a pepper. Other images seem to be more than their subject, reminding us of something else even if we can't place what it is. In his control of composition and lighting, objects almost jump off the page with barely-contained energy; the extraordinary is found within the ordinary, the irrepressible will to life within the inanimate.This Aperture volume is an outstanding collection of this great photographer's work, and includes a short biography by R. H. Craven.
