Edward Weston: Portraits

Throughout his career, Edward Weston set a standard for photographic portraiture. Using his famous and fascinating friends as subjects--Robinson Jeffers, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti, Igor Stravinsky, James Cagney, Lincoln Steffens, D. H. Lawrence, Carl Sandburg, e.e. cummings, and Dorothea Lange, to name a few--Weston created some of the most timeless and powerful photographic portraits of all time. This handsome book of images is complemented by the inclusion of Weston's correspondence with several of his friends and contemporaries, along with a moving, personal narrative by his son, Cole.
