Edward Weston was a pioneering American photographer renowned for his innovative and influential work in the 20th century. Throughout his 40-year career, he captured a diverse array of subjects including landscapes, still lifes, nudes, portraits, and genre scenes. Weston developed a distinctive Californian approach to modern photography, with a keen focus on the American West. Notably, he was awarded the first Guggenheim Fellowship for photography in 1937 and created many iconic images, particularly of trees and rocks at Point Lobos, California. Weston’s transition from soft focus pictorialism to highly detailed photographic images solidified his legacy as a master photographer.
