Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the early work of the photographer Edward Weston (1886-1958) and to investigate the nature and direction of his development as well as the social and cultural environment during the first half of his career, that is, from 1903 through 1926 when he returned definitively to the United States from Mexico. About 800 photographs made by Weston during this twenty three year period are illustrated and discussed in the catalogue.
