Edward Weston: Photography and Modernism

Karen Quinn; Theodore Stebbins; Karen E. Quinn; Edward Weston; Leslie Furth; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Cleveland Museum of Art; Boston Museum of Fine Arts

This third and culminating volume in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts' outstanding series on Edward Weston (1886-1958) examines Weston's role in the modernist movement. Comparative illustrations of work by Picasso, Brancusi, O'Keeffe, Pollock, and other artists are included to provide a deeper understanding of these influence's. Following an introduction by Theodore Stebbins, three sections of photographs with accompanying essays demonstrate the entire range of Weston's work: still lifes, work from the Mexican period, his landmark work with shells and peppers, small-format portraiture and fragmentary nudes, the classic 1930s series of nudes and dunes, and his late, abstract landscapes. This catalogue features many previously unpublished photographs from the renowned Lane Collection. Vintage prints -- all printed by Weston himself -- were used to create the exquisite tritone reproductions in this masterful book.
