Description

For more than fifteen years, Edward Weston kept a diary—which he called his “daybooks”—recording his struggle to understand himself, his society, and his medium. This journal has become a classic of photographic literature, offering a vivid and intimate look at one of the twentieth century’s most pioneering photographers. This volume combines the “Mexico” and “California” years, documenting Weston’s transition to straight photography and his interactions with luminaries such as Ansel Adams, Diego Rivera, and Alfred Stieglitz. It is an extraordinary document of an artist’s internal and external quest for beauty.
