Edward Weston (1886-1958) is renowned as one of the masters of 20th century photography. His legacy of carefully composed and superbly printed photographs has influenced photographers around the world. This major exhibition, the largest ever to be shown in the UK, presents a survey of this great American artist, and contains an outstanding group of over 100 vintage prints from all phases of Weston's career.
The exhibition encompasses all the themes for which he is best known. Among the earliest works on show is a striking 1909 study of his wife Flora, which is perhaps Weston's first nude, while a 1907 desert image foretells his later passion for landscape.
His stay in Mexico heralded a new trimmed-down approach which led on to his memorable still life photographs of the late 1920s. They in turn fed naturally into a remarkable set of sculptural nudes in 1933 - 1934. Subsequently, Weston's style loosened as he turned to the open landscape. Life Work includes an important suite of six dune studies made near Oceano, California in 1934 and 1936.
The exhibition concludes with Weston's consummate final photograph, nicknamed The Dody Rocks, from 1948.
Visitors are advised that the Edward Weston exhibition contains nude photography, which may cause offence to some.
