In this biography Ben Maddow draws heavily on Weston's uncut journals and letters and on the reminiscences and written accounts of his closest friends and family to reveal the man behind the opaque formalism of the photographs.

This photograph survey of the great American artist contains photographs from all phases of Weston's long and varied career, from his first nude in 1909 to his final landscape at Point Lobos, California, in 1948. Previously unpublished masterpieces are interspersed with his well-known signature images.

This volume celebrates Weston's nudes, of which Hilton Kramer wrote: "To Weston's eye... the landscape of the human body was an unending revelation of forms both voluptuous and abstract. His genius as an artist lay in his ability to respond to both with equal passion."

A memoir long awaited in the arts community, Through Another Lens tells the story of the life Weston and Wilson led on the Big Sur coast from 1934 to 1946 amid a particularly American (and peculiarly Western) brand of artistic ferment among such figures as Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Robinson Jeffers. The book features many unpublished family pictures as well as snapshots by Cunningham, Adams, Willard Van Dyke, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall, and others; of course, Weston's own extraordinary photographs are here, too, some of which have rarely been seen outside private collections.

In this collection of photographs, California and the West Coast of America are shown in all their seasons and scenery, from arid deserts and dramatic mountain ranges, to vineyards and fruit farms in full bloom. Many of the photographs in this book are being published for the first time.

American photography from the turn of the century through the mid-1960s offers one of the richest and most coherent traditions in the history of the medium.

The American Southwest has shaped the lives and work of many artists and literary figures over the last century -- Georgia O'Keeffe, D. H. Lawrence, N. Scott Momaday, to name a few -- individuals unquestionably drawn to the unrivaled landscape, moved to express its beauty through the written word or through their art, and forever altered by the experience. The survey of photographers and photography in the Southwest between 1870 and 1970 begins with Timothy O'Sullivan and other late nineteenth-century expedition photographers and ends with the color landscape photography of Eliot Porter.
