Edward Weston: Forms of Passion

This beautiful volume is the most comprehensive survey to date of Weston's work. Beginning with his portrait studio in California through his creative blossoming in Mexico to the work for which he is best-known, this book contains over 300 gorgeously reproduced images by "the founding father of American photography." French photographic historian Gilles Mora, known for the acclaimed Walker Evans: The Hungry Eye, selected the images for this colossal collection, as well as contributing a major essay on Weston's work in Mexico. The book includes additional essays by Terence Pitts, Trudy Wilner Stack, Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., and Alan Trachtenberg.
