"Wynn Bullock used many of the techniques pioneered in the 1920s in his photography. He was constantly looking for new ways to express himself and his philosophies on life. But in 1948 he met Edward Weston and was deeply impressed by his emphasis on realism and tonal beauty. As a result of this meeting, Bullock changed his style and adopted 'straight' photography. And this is the work he is primarily remembered for today - stunningly beautiful nudes and images of nature on the West Coast of America. His photographs are usually visual metaphors and tend to have a psychological dimension beneath the fastidious realm."-the publisher.
