Description: Dune collects, for the first time, the sand dune photographs of both Edward and Brett Weston, two giant names in modern photography. Previously, their remarkable dune photographs--dramatic abstractions of light and shadow and sensuous shape--were featured as samples in overview publications on the artists, just a picture here and there. This lush volume brings together father and son in a personal, unique fashion, showcasing the photographs each made in the same locations. Adding depth is an original essay by Brett Weston's longtime friend, traveling companion and biographer, John Charles Woods. Woods' intimate, forthcoming narrative describes what it was like to accompany the younger Weston into the dunes and what his habits and personality were like. Charis Wilson, Edward Weston's one-time wife, excerpts a passage from her acclaimed book Through Another Lens, in which she tells of a 1936 trip she and her husband made to the dunes of Oceano, California. Also included are correspondence between father and son, and excerpts from Edward Weston's daybooks.

Outstanding,
By perzon mody (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edward and Brett Weston: Dune (Hardcover)
What a terrific book on the 2 great masters of 20th century photography. A joy to read and the reproductions of the Dunes are some of the best I have seen in any book on EW or BW. Highly recommended for the collector of Westons and others. A real treasure and I keep on opening it to view such beautiful images.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Super, but not perfect...,
This review is from: Edward and Brett Weston: Dune (Hardcover)
Lovely book with satin pages. Material a little samey in some respects but interesting (slight) contrast in styles neatly illustrated. Minimalist, a little text but I am glad I own it. Not a knockout, but enjoyable and a pleasure to own. Certainly opened my eyes and will be a valued part of my collection.

Magnificent Book!,

This review is from: Edward and Brett Weston: Dune (Hardcover)
Without doubt one of the most magnificent books related to photography ever published. The Westston's photgraphs are out of and well beyong the realm of "pictures" -- the treatment of the photographs and Kust Markus' text and treatment of the Weston's works reverantly rings true and honest, no pretentious drivel here!
