Aperture 140 - Summer 1995
Edward Weston: Portraits
Although revered for his vibrant still lifes and haunting California landscapes, Edward Weston spent the major part of his career, from 1917 to 1948, perfecting a standard of photographic portraiture that has rarely been surpassed. This monograph is the first published collection of Weston’s finest portraits.

Issue Details
This monograph is the first published collection of Edward Weston’s finest portraits. It shows the artist at this most inspired: vigorously rendering “the very substance, the deeper inner image” of sons, lovers, friends and fellow artists, with such immediacy that they linger in our mind’s eye long after viewing. In his lifetime, Weston’s photographs were first published in Aperture in 1952. In 1958, upon Weston’s death, Nancy Newhall brought his pictures together in a single landmark issue that became known as “The Flame of Recognition.”
