Weston Photography News
Gina and Kim Weston landed in Germany this morning, just in time for "Weston 4 Generations: Classics of Modern American Photography" and a Weston Destination Workshop!
The new exhibition Towards Abstraction, 1940-1985: Brett Weston Photographs from the Bruce Museum Collection is on view through February 9, 2017.
Happy Birthday Edward Weston! 1886-1958 Edward Weston meets Margrethe Mather 1913 As I started researching Edward Weston's life around the 1913's, I realized it was when he met and started working with Margrethe Mather. I went straight to our bookshelf and read "Margrethe Mather and Edward Weston, A Passionate Collaboration" by Beth Gates Warren. We saw the exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 2003. It was an excellent show and I am so happy we took the time to go and see it. Margrethe was a photographer, mentor, lover and inspiration to Edward. Here are some photos by Edward Weston and Margrethe Mather from 1914 - 1920's. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Happy Birthday GP!

Have you always wanted to visit Wildcat Hill and see Edward Weston's Darkroom? Here is your chance! In this 25-minute video Kim takes you into Edward Weston’s original darkroom and shows you the very simple techniques that Edward used throughout his life - a historical journey back in time to see how this master used basic tools to make incredible art.
This negative called “Spring” was photographed at Wildcat Hill in 1943. The nude in the photo is Charis Wilson, Edward’s last wife. Edward Weston photographed many wonderful photographs of Charis around his home during the 1940’s.
Have you had a chance to read more about Edward Weston? We have a Edward Weston Chronology page, EDWARD HENRY WESTON, 1886 - 1958 - A Detailed Chronology, Compiled and Edited by Dick Rinehart.
