| Notes | The beauty of Edward Weston's photographs is the expression--the efflorescence--of a profound intuition: during the decisive years of his career, as he approached the age of forty, it came to him that the solution to a photographic problem was implicit in the nature of the subject. The photograph should be an analogue (not a copy) of the thing itself. This idea evolved out of his work, as he freed his eyes of conventional expectations, and learned to see the force of intention that resides within natural form. This book is the third and final edition of Nancy Newhall's classic summation of Weston's work and his thought, as he revealed it in his diaries and private correspondence. Or the fourth edition, if one traces the ancestry of this volume back to the slender monograph that accompanied the Weston exhibition that Mrs. Newhall directed in 1946 at The Museum of Modern Art. The sympathy, critical acuity, and scholarly rigor that characterized that early work were sustained by Nancy Newhall throughout her life, which was dedicated to understanding and sharing the art of photography--John Szarkoski, Director, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art.--Cover |
