Parallel text in English, German and French."Few photographers have created such a legacy as Edward Weston [1886-1958]: After a decade of successfully making photographs with painterly soft focus techniques, Weston became the key pioneer of the school of precise and sharp presentations, dubbed 'straight Photography". Through the 1920's, 30's and 40's, Weston was a major force, pushing forward the art of photography. His photographs are monuments of sensual realism, perfectly composted imates of stillness that sear with passion and intensity. Whatever the subject, be it a vegetable, the landscape, a shell or the naked body, Weston's lens captures the essence of its life force, the fundamentals of its form." - dust jacket.
