With a profound connection to the American landscape and cultural history, the work of Edward Weston (1886–1958) offers a unique perspective on the consolidation of photography as an artistic medium and its significance in the context of modernism in the visual arts.
This catalog, published in connection with the exhibition Edward Weston, The Matter of Forms, contains a 293-page anthology covering all the stages of the photographer’s career, focusing in particular on the aesthetic and conceptual counterpoint that Weston’s work represented in relation to European photographic modernism, which emerged with the avant-garde movements.
