Tina Modotti & Edward Weston: The Mexico Years 1 review Sarah Lowe
Merrell, 2004
the pursuit of form
We take it for granted now: the ability of a photograph to go past the 'whatisit'stage and to celebrate pure form. This is so much a part of our world that it has become a staple in advertising and a cliche in photos of the nude.
So it's easy to forget that formalism was once a radical idea that ...

Margrethe Mather and Edward Weston: A Passionate Collaboration 1 review Beth Gates Warren
W. W. Norton & Company, 2001
Good art, bad art history
Almost nothing has been written on the pictorialist movement in California in the early 20th century, yet every well know photographer in California was active in it. This book is an imaginative look at one of the best and most mysterious practitioners. Mather and Weston found themselves in L.A. ...

What a terrific book on the 2 great masters of 20th century photography. A joy to read and the reproductions of the Dunes are some of the best I have seen in any book on EW or BW. Highly recommended for the collector of Westons and others. A real treasure and I keep on opening it to view such ...

Edward Weston: His Life 2 reviews Ben Maddow
Aperture, 2000
A suburb read!
I've read a lot of biographies in my life but nothing holds a candle to Maddow's "Edward Weston: His Life". The way Maddow weaves his words encourages the reader to exalt in the fine art of biography. In other words, Maddow's biography not only becomes a celebration of Weston's life and work but a ...

Edward Weston (Postcardbooks) 1 review
Taschen America Llc, 1999
great fun
I've been on a Weston kick lately, reviving an enthusiasm from decades ago. I came across this 'book', which is really 24 bound postcards. It's beautifully printed and the images are wonderfully erotic without the potential to offend anyone. I've had a great time sending one card a day-mostly to ...

Excellent book

This was the type of book I was looking for concerning Weston's nude photography. The background, written by his wife and model, was excellent, and the pictures were laid out perfectly. Highly recommended to any Weston fan.

Edward Weston: Portraits
Aperture, 1996
Weston spent the greatest part of his towering career setting a standard of photographic portraiture. Included are images of Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti, and James Cagney. Together these photographs create a powerful volume that demands a fresh look at this central endeavor of his life's work.

Edward Weston's Book of Nudes 2 reviews Edward Weston, Nancy Newhall
Getty Publications, 2007
The Perfect Image
+ A Must Have for Westonians
There are people, (mostly in New York) who resent photography, confusing it with the blurry, out of focus vacation pictures of the non-technical.
Now I think that art is whatever will sell on 68th street and that Edward Weston was an artist of the highest ranks of people who use a medium to ...
