Reviews
This volume is one of many that would serve to introduce readers to the photographs of Edward Weston, but contains little that would inform one already familiar with his work. It's a nicely produced general overview of his output, containing most of his standards and some works not seen as often. The images are somewhat smaller than Weston's 8" X 10" format and are printed in semi-gloss, whereas the bulk of Westons prints were produced in glossy surface for a more brilliant tonal range. Each image is accompanied by the artist's quote relevant to the subject. These range from informative technical and aesthetic remarks to his frequent narcissistic ones, the latter wearing thin after awhile. (As his wife Charis said, Weston was given to hyperbole.) There is a four-page biographical introduction for those not already familiar with his place in photographic history. Weston has long since been accorded a high ranking in photographic history, with the result that there are a number of volumes now extant that are far superior to this one both in content and reproduction, and are presently available at similar prices. It's a nice gift book for the uninitiated, otherwise skip this one.
