Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2011. First Edition . Cloth. Fine/Fine. Fine crisp, clean copy in like dust jacket. protected by mylar cover. 379 pp., plates, endnotes, bibliography and index. Edward Weston (1886-1958) was one of the most celebrated photographers of the twentieth century. Jean Charlot (1898-1979), a classically trained French artist best known for his murals, woodcuts, and paintings celebrating Mexican culture, played a key role as a participant and chronicler of the Mexican Renaissance. This book, based on letters that Weston and Charlot exchanged from the early 1920s until Weston's death in 1958, documents a friendship that says as much about art-about photography and fresco, practice, criticism, and history-as it does about the intersection of a number of fascinating characters, the ups and downs of the correspondents' daily lives, the pursuit of their dreams and aspirations, and the support and encouragement they gave each other.
