Brett Weston is one of America’s greatest photographers. He sustained a remarkably dedicated seventy year career since the time he took his first photographs in 1925 until his death in 1993. His images form one of the strongest bonds between photography and other mediums of modern art. Called by some admirers the “Picasso of Photography”, Weston’s work is one of the defining poles of 20th century photography in its technical precision, bold design, and daring extremes of abstraction and private imagination.
