Description

Edward Weston is one of the seminal figures of twentieth-century photography. An exponent of 'straight photography', Weston was committed to making photographs 'free from technical tricks and incoherent emotionalism' which were able to capture the essence of the subject. He is also the first photographer to win a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1937.
