OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Profusely illustrated. "Although revered for his vibrant still lifes and haunting California landscapes, Edward Weston spent the major part of his towering career, from 1917 to 1948, perfecting a standard of photographic portraiture that has rarely been surpassed. Weston's timeless images of the famous and fascinating presences who crowded the canvas of his free-spirited life-among them 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-compromise a starting 70 percent of the photographer's oeuvre. Edward Weston Portraits is the first published collection of Edward Weston's most revealing portraits and shows the artist at his most inspired: 'rendering the very substance, the deeper inner image' of sons, lovers, friends, and fellow artists with such commanding immediacy that they linger in the mind's eye long after viewing. / Susan Morgan is a contributing writer at Elle and Mirabella and the author of the 1992 Aperture monograph Martin Munkacsi." - Publisher.. 1st.
