This new book surveys Edward Weston's work more comprehensively and exhaustively than any previous work. A combination of biography and critical analysis, it offers more than 320 meticulously reproduced duotone images, nearly a quarter of which have never been reproduced in books before. The selected photographs trace Weston's career from his early days, through formative years in Mexico, and on through the balance of his career, which ended because of the onset of Parkinson's disease ten years prior to his death in 1958. Treated chronologically and emphasizing Weston's creative preoccupations in each period, the book includes work that he created in 1938 and 1939 with funds from the first two Guggenheim Foundation grants ever awarded to a photographer. To illustrate the book vintage prints have been selected from the copious Weston Archives at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, and the highly important Lane Collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Nearly 10,000 photographs have been examined in order to select those reproduced in the book.

New Book. The book does not have a dust jacket, however, I have another copy with a jacket that I am including at no cost. The jacket I am including is in very good condition with minor wear to edges, and price on leaf is clipped. Book itself is perfect, clearly new and unused. Purchased from long time Charlotte bookstore(all new books) liquidation sale. While at the sale, I noticed many of the books were being pulled out of old boxes at the back of the store. Many of the books had obviously been in shop for many years. This is one of those books. Very rare in new condition. NOTE: Books ordered before 11AM Eastern Time shipped same day. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. We will instantly refund your money if you are not happy with the book for any reason. collectable
