“I photograph out of love to record beautiful forms. It’s a way of life, a compulsion. There is nothing I would rather do.”

ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

 

Brett Weston lead a very long and productive creative life. The second of Edward Weston’s four sons he was something of a child prodigy. Eight of his images was included in the celebrated “Film und Foto” photo exhibition in Germany when he was only 17 years old and he had a one man retrospective at the De Young Museum in San Francisco when he was only 21 years old. His styles changed over the years but he was a constant master of abstraction throughout his career. He took this image when he was 73 years old. He was still such an inspiring creative force till the end. As I look at it now such power emanates from the print. It is the work of a master characterized by great detail and rich subtle tonalities of shadow and form. It lights up the room.
