Wow, a photography book that you do not have to buy with a loan application or perfect credit. Weston was such a commanding presence in so many photographic fields, and this overview of his work is great. One quibble: I wish there had been better ties between the women in his life and the nudes featured here. Who was who? Also, his bio mentions the last photo he took, but does not include it. Other than that, great work by a great artist and a great inspiration.

The excellence of this small unassuming little gem alters the traditional photographs of Mexico in the 1920's. Edward Weston
saw a reality, a starkness and a purity in the daily Mexican life not often portrayed by the photographers of its own country. The romanticism
of his pictures make you want to become part of the experience. He, hand in hand with Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Tina Modotti. Mariana Yampolsky are part of a
post-war Modernism that embraced Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. I explored
all of the above as a result of this tiny little Aperture book. I recommend it to anyone with many or few dollars, the experience is overwhelming and speaks to you with passion. It leaves you wanting more......

If you were to only buy one of Edward Weston's books, this would be the one -- and for less then $10...

No problems with this purchase. Book arrived in a timely fashion. Only slight nitpick with the wear and tear on the book cover.
