Edward Weston - United States

Art Brokerage: Edward Weston American Artist: b. 1886-1956. Edward Weston was a photographer who was born in Highland Park, Illinois, USA. He established his own studio in Glendale c.1910, and later became recognized as a Modernist, emphasizing sharp images and precise definition in landscapes, portraits, and still-life. He produced notable landscapes of the Mojave Desert, and in 1937, with the first-ever award of a Guggenheim Fellowship to a photographer, travelled widely taking photographs for California and the West (1940). Two of his four sons, Brett Weston (1911-93) and Cole Weston (1919-2003), also became noted photographers. Listings wanted.
