"I’ll do the printing myself until I die. Printing is a personal thing. I couldn’t print your work. You couldn’t print mine. It wouldn’t be the same. So when I die, I’ll have all of my negatives destroyed”
Brett Weston
(1911-1993)
ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
I don’t know of any other photographer in the history of photography that burnt the majority of his or her negatives as an act of defiance in the face of conventional behavior. But this is exactly what Brett did at his 80th birthday party. He possessed such technical prowess that we are so fortunate that this brilliant print from Venice survived whatever we think of his eccentricity. It is a “tour de force” from a master.
If you're in the Bay area this weekend please join us at Fort Mason and experience our beautiful and life affirming booth, featuring this and further 20th and 21st century masterworks. If you have friends and family in San Francisco who you feel will enjoy this experience, please share!
